Retinal arterial wall reflectivity

1. Retinal arterial wall reflectivity has no effect on incident cardiovascular disease in humans (SHR per 10 arbitrary units 1.026, 95% CI 0.920–1.145).

   “In the full cohort, retinal arterial wall reflectivity was not independently associated with CVD”

1. Retinal arterial wall reflectivity is associated with incident stroke in humans (SHR 1.280, 95% CI 1.088–1.506).

   “parsimonious models suggested possible associations with CVD (SHR, 1.173; 95% CI, 1.031-1.334) and stroke (SHR, 1.280; 95% CI, 1.088-1.506).”
