Socioeconomic and environmental factors associated with glaucoma in an African Ancestry Population: findings from the Primary Open-Angle African American Glaucoma Genetics (POAAGG) study.

Socioeconomic status did not significantly protect against POAG in African ancestry individuals. Individual factors were more influential, suggesting neighbourhood and socioeconomic factors may have a lesser impact than previously hypothesised.

Predictors of Glaucoma Conversion in an African Ancestry Cohort: A Longitudinal Study.

In glaucoma suspects of African ancestry, higher risk of POAG conversion is independently associated with higher IOP, absence of hypertension, and presence of myopia.

Risk factors associated with beta-peripapillary atrophy in individuals of African ancestry with primary open-angle glaucoma.

Beta-PPA is strongly associated with older age and high CDR among individuals with POAG. These regions are vulnerable to RNFL loss.
