ABSTRACT
0.05). Similarly, no significant difference was detected in retinal arteriolar tortuosity (Z=0.91) and venular tortuosity (Z=1.31) (both p>0.05). However, the retinal arteriolar FD (mean difference −0.03, 95% CI −0.05, −0.01) and venular FD (mean difference −0.03, 95% CI −0.05, −0.02) were associated with cognitive impairment.CONCLUSIONS:
A smaller retinal microvascular FD might be associated with cognitive impairment. Further large-sample and well-controlled original studies are required to confirm the present findings.Key words
