Abstract excerpt
To evaluate the independent and synergistic effects of phenotypic age acceleration (PhenoAgeAccel) and genetic risk on age-related eye diseases (AREDs). We analyzed 395,322 participants from the UK Biobank to assess the association between PhenoAgeAccel and polygenic risk scores for age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and age-related cataract (ARC). Cox proportional hazards models evaluated independent effects...
