Model A: Genetic and environmental variables: Smoking (never, past, current), body mass index (<25, 25–29.9, 30+), education (≤high school, >high school), antioxidant treatment (yes, no), AMD status at baseline, CFH Y402H (TT, CT, CC), CFHrs1410966 (TT, CT, CC), ARMS2/HTRA1 (GG, GT, TT), C2 (GG, CG/CC), CFB (CC, CT/TT), C3 (CC, CG, GG).

Model B: Macular drusen and environmental variables: Smoking (never, past, current), body mass index (<25, 25–29.9, 30+), education (≤high school, >high school), antioxidant treatment (yes, no), AMD status at baseline and drusen size in each eye (μm) as shown in Table 4.

Model C: All variables in models A and B.
