Joachim (p. 2482) 等对参与蓝山眼病研究 (Blue Mountain Eye Study) 的3654名49岁及以上成人进行为期15年的年龄相关性黄斑变性 (age-related macular degeneration [AMD]) 疾病起病和进展观察。研究者发现早期AMD总体发病率为22.7%, 晚期AMD总体发病率为6.8%。校正相关危险因素后, 早期和晚期AMD发病率分别为15.1%和4.1%; 进一步以Beaver Dam眼病研究人群为参照进行年龄标准化, 得到早期和晚期AMD发病率分别为13.1%和3.3%。就进展风险而言, 早期AMD病变的严重程度是进展为晚期AMD的重要预测因素。女性、风险等位基因CFH-rs1061170及ARMS2-rs10490924的并存是早期AMD发病的独立危险因素; 当前吸烟史和至少存在1个风险等位基因与晚期AMD发病相关。
