Any cataract type (pure or mixed) defined as Lens Opacity Classification System III grade: nuclear opacities ≥4, cortical opacities ≥3, posterior subcapsular opacities ≥2.
Comparator group (controls) without cataract or operated cataract (ie <4 for nuclear opacities and <3 for cortical opacities and <2 for posterior subcapsular cataract, no dense opacities and no aphakia/pseudophakia); n=1462, 40 GA/AA and 1422 GG.
OR and 95% CI calculated from logistic regression adjusted for age, sex, study centre.
Pure cataract type defined as Lens Opacity Classification System III grade: nuclear opacities ≥4, cortical opacities ≥3, posterior subcapsular opacities ≥2, and no other type of opacity.
Beta coefficient (Beta) and 95% CI from regression analysis adjusted for age, sex, study center.
Standardised scores of Lens Opacity Classification System III grade: nuclear opacity score in the worse eye graded in 0.1 units from 0.5 to 6.9; cortical opacity score in the worse eye graded in 0.1 units from 0 to 5.9; posterior capsular opacity score in the worse eye graded in 0.1 units from 0 to 5.9.
