M, male; F, female; AS, active smoker; FS, former smoker; NS, non-smoker; Int., intermediate AMD.

^*Measured using the global square-root-of-area-growth rate.

^†For case 9, all visit 1 GA margin points were <1 mm for the MNV border, and so the all distance and 1-mm distance analyses were the same.
