Abstract
Factors associated with prevalent AMD are similar for Chinese Americans and Latinos. Chinese Americans who were older, were male, had a family history of AMD, and had a shorter axial length were at an increased risk for AMD compared with those without these risk factors. We observed a significantly lower predicted prevalence of AMD among Chinese Americans compared with Latinos, even after controlling for all relevant covariates, suggesting that additional genetic or lifestyle differences may play an important role in determining AMD risk.
