High PCA-derived retinal reflectance score with GC-IPL thinning

upin humans1OR 6.98

1 study
  1. High PCA-derived retinal reflectance score with GC-IPL thinning is associated with prevalent dementia in humans (OR 6.98).

    “Coexisting high PCA-derived scores and GC-IPL thinning further had higher odds of prevalent dementia in combined regions (OR, 3.87) and inferotemporal region (OR, 6.98).”

Less reflected light in the eye linked to dementia in older adults

Higher scores indicating less reflected light were associated with 2.21 times the odds of existing dementia in one retinal region.Higher scores indicating less reflected light were associated with 2.21 times the odds of existing dementia in one retinal region.
