Characteristics of Salisbury Eye Evaluation Round 4 Participants with Data on Visual Fields (VFs) and Function/Quality of Life by VF Loss

Characteristics	Round 4 Participants		Age-Adjusted P Value^*
Characteristics	MD ≤ −3 dB in at Least 1 Eye (n = 490)	MD > − 3 dB in Both Eyes (n = 608)	Age-Adjusted P Value^*
Age (yrs), mean ± SD	80.7±4.7	78.7±4.0	<0.0001
Male, n (%)	183 (37)	264 (43)	0.13
African American, n (%)	166 (34)	81 (13)	<0.0001
Last grade completed, mean ± SD	11.0±3.6	12.3±3.1	<0.0001
MMSE score, mean ± SD	25.0±3.7	26.9±2.4	<0.0001
Depressed, n (%)	43 (9)	32 (5)	0.01
No. comorbid conditions, mean ± SD	3.6±2.0	3.3±1.8	0.03
logMAR acuity, mean ± SD	0.13±0.25	0.00±0.11	<0.0001
Contrast sensitivity, mean ± SD^†	31.5±4.7	34.7±2.4	<0.0001
Better-eye VF MD, median (P5, P95)	−3.6 (−16.8 to −0.5)	−0.4 (−2.1 to +1.3)	<0.0001
Worse-eye VF MD, median (P5, P95)	−6.2 (−23.8 to −3.2)	−1.2 (−2.8 to +0.4)	<0.0001

logMAR = logarithm of minimal angle of resolution; MD = mean deviation; MMSE = Mini Mental State Examination; P5 = 5th percentile; P95 = 95th percentile; SD = standard deviation.

Age difference was evaluated using the Student t test; all other P values were taken from bivariate logistic, log-linear, or linear regression models with age and the given characteristic included as covariates. All age-adjusted differences between the 2 groups were in the same direction as the unadjusted statistics shown.

Contrast sensitivity expressed as the number of letters correctly read on the Pelli-Robson chart in the better eye with best correction.
