BMI and Retinal Vascular Caliber in Children

1 Jan 2007

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: In adult populations, changes in retinal vascular caliber have been linked with obesity and metabolic syndrome. We examined the association of BMI and weight with retinal vascular caliber in children. RESEARCH METHODS AND PROCEDURES: This was a school-based, cross-sectional study of 768 children, 7 to 9 years old, randomly sampled from the Singapore Cohort Study of the Risk Factors for Myopia....
