Prevalence of Glaucoma and Its Systemic Risk Factors in a General Japanese Population: The Hisayama Study.

The prevalence of glaucoma was approximately 8%, probably due to the increase in the Japanese aging population.

Glucose Tolerance Levels and Circumpapillary Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Thickness in a General Japanese Population: The Hisayama Study.

Our analyses revealed that poorer glucose tolerance was significantly associated with the reduction of cpRNFLT in a Japanese general population, suggesting that the loss of neural tissue in the eye begins at the prediabetic stage,…

Genetic Risk Stratification of Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma in Japanese Individuals.

The GRS showed moderate discriminative accuracy for POAG in the Japanese population.

Association between corneal hysteresis and glaucoma in a Japanese population: the Hisayama Study.

These results demonstrated a significant inverse association between corneal hysteresis and the likelihood of glaucoma, suggesting that the measurement of corneal hysteresis would provide useful information for elucidating the aetiology of glaucoma.
