Lens density

1. Telomere length decreases lens density in humans (β = - 0.32, 95% CI: - 0.61 to - 0.04).

   “In the Chinese cohort, LTL was negatively correlated with average lens density (β = - 0.32, 95% CI: - 0.61 to - 0.04; P = 0.03).”

1. Lens density is associated with longitudinal modulus of the lens nucleus in humans (β = -0.794, P < 0.001).

   “The LMN, LMAC, and LMPC were negatively correlated with lens density (LD) (β = -0.794, P < 0.001; β = -0.273, P = 0.033; β = -0.422, P = 0.001).”
