Prospective Study of Oral Health and Risk of Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma in Men: Data from the Health Professionals Follow-up Study.

Although the number of natural teeth was not associated with risk of POAG, recent tooth loss was associated with an increased risk of POAG.

Association of Statin Use and High Serum Cholesterol Levels With Risk of Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma.

Among adults aged 40 years or older, higher serum cholesterol levels were associated with higher risk of POAG, while 5 or more years of statin use compared with never use of statins was associated with…

Incidence of and Risk Factors for Cataract in Anterior Uveitis.

Cataract developed in 507 eyes (54/1000 eye-years, 95% CI 49-59).

Genetic Correlations Between Diabetes and Glaucoma: An Analysis of Continuous and Dichotomous Phenotypes.

These analyses suggest that there is limited genetic correlation between diabetes- and glaucoma-related traits.

Testosterone Pathway Genetic Polymorphisms in Relation to Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma: An Analysis in Two Large Datasets.

Collectively, testosterone metabolism pathway SNPs were consistently associated with the high-tension subtype of POAG in two datasets.

Long-term Alcohol Consumption and Risk of Exfoliation Glaucoma or Glaucoma Suspect Status among United States Health Professionals.

Long-term alcohol consumption was associated with a higher risk of XFG/XFGS status. Our findings provide further clues regarding the XFG/XFGS etiology.

Cohort Study of Nonmelanoma Skin Cancer and the Risk of Exfoliation Glaucoma.

NMSC was associated with higher XFG risk, particularly among younger participants and those living in the Northern US.

Prediagnostic Plasma Metabolomics and the Risk of Exfoliation Glaucoma.

In plasma from a decade before diagnosis, lysophosphatidylcholines and phosphatidylethanolamine plasmalogens were positively associated and triacylglycerols and steroids (e.g., cortisone) were inversely associated with XFG risk.

Prospective study of dietary intake of branched-chain amino acids and the risk of primary open-angle glaucoma.

Higher dietary intake of BCAA was not associated with POAG risk.

Notice of Retraction and Replacement. Kang et al. Association of statin use and high serum cholesterol levels with risk of primary open-angle glaucoma. JAMA Ophthalmol. 2019;137(7):756-765.

Female Reproductive Factors in Relation to Risk of Exfoliation Glaucoma or Glaucoma Suspect.

Later age at menarche was associated with a lower XFG/XFGS risk. Surgical versus natural menopause was inversely associated with XFG/XFGS risk only among those with high genetic susceptibility. These results need confirmation.

Association of Dietary Nitrate Intake With Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma: A Prospective Analysis From the Nurses' Health Study and Health Professionals Follow-up Study.

Higher dietary nitrate and green leafy vegetable intake was associated with a lower POAG risk, particularly POAG with early paracentral VF loss at diagnosis.

Author Response: Comparison of Risk Factor Profiles for Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma Subtypes Defined by Pattern of Visual Field Loss: True Risk Factors or Arbituary Definition?

Comparison of Risk Factor Profiles for Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma Subtypes Defined by Pattern of Visual Field Loss: A Prospective Study.

These data indicate that POAG with early paracentral VF loss has distinct as well as common determinants compared with POAG with peripheral VF loss.
