Association Between Body Mass Index and Primary Open Angle Glaucoma in Three Cohorts.

Body mass index correlated with longitudinal and cross-sectional glaucomatous outcomes. This supports previous work illustrating a correlation between BMI and glaucoma.

High Polygenic Risk Is Associated with Earlier Initiation and Escalation of Treatment in Early Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma.

This study demonstrated novel associations between glaucoma polygenic risk and risk of commencement or escalation of IOP-lowering therapy, building on previous work highlighting the potential clinical usefulness of genetic risk stratification in glaucoma.

A Multitrait Open-Angle Glaucoma Polygenic Risk Score Stratifies Risk of Glaucoma Diagnosis and Severity in Eyes with Pseudoexfoliation.

The PRSs for open-angle glaucoma, IOP, and VCDR stratify risk of glaucoma development and disease severity among individuals with PEX.

Physical Activity Is Associated With Macular Thickness: A Multi-Cohort Observational Study.

These results highlight the potential neuroprotective benefits of exercise on the human retina.

A Multitrait Polygenic Risk Score for Open-Angle Glaucoma Stratifies Risk of Pigmentary Glaucoma in Pigment Dispersion Syndrome.

A multitrait PRS for open-angle glaucoma stratifies risk of glaucoma onset and disease severity among individuals with PDS.
