Independent Baseline Predictors and the Associated Risk of Developing Open-Angle Glaucoma in the Los Angeles Latino Eye Study

Baseline Risk factors OR (95% CI)* P*
Socio-demographic factors
        Age (per decade older) 2.19 (1.74-2.75) <0.001
        Lack of vision insurance 2.08 (1.26-3.41) 0.004
        WHR (per 0.05 higher) 1.21 (1.05-1.39) 0.007
Ocular factors:
        IOP (per mmHg higher) 1.18 (1.10-1.26) <0.001
        Axial length (per mm longer) 1.48 (1.22-1.80) <0.001
        CCT (per 40 μm thinner) 1.30 (1.00-1.70) 0.050

OR=odds ratio; CI=confidence interval; IOP=intraocular pressure; WHR= waist to hip ratio; CCT=central corneal thickness; OAG=open-angle glaucoma.

*

Based on logistic regression models adjusting for age, IOP, axial length, lack of vision insurance, WHR, and CCT at baseline. P values were estimated from likelihood ratio tests. Among the 3,772 participants at risk for incident OAG, data from 34 persons (<1%) reporting IOP-lowering treatment at baseline and 82 persons (<3%) with missing data for at least one of the risk factors were excluded; the remaining 3,656 subjects including 78 incident cases were included in this analysis.
