RVF, retinal vascular feature; HR, hazard ratio; CI, confidence interval.
Model 1 is unadjusted; model 2 is adjusted for baseline age and sex; model 3 is adjusted for baseline age, sex, body mass index, smoking status, diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and genetic risk score of abdominal aortic aneurysm/ thoracic aortic aneurysm.
