Abstract
Substantial late AMD cases and deaths exceed those in previous population-based studies to better test mortality-related hypotheses. Age-related macular degeneration was significantly associated with all-cause and CVD-specific mortality. Relationships weakened over a longer duration of follow-up, and sex seems to modify the association. Future analyses are warranted to interrogate the possible clinical usefulness of these relationships.
