The central retina vessel density and foveal avascular zone values of 792 healthy adults using optical coherence tomography angiography.

ABSTRACT:

Background/objectives

To determine normal macular vessel density (VD) and foveal avascular zone (FAZ) values using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) analysis in healthy adults.

Subjects/methods

As part of the Prospective Epidemiological Research Studies in Iran (PERSIAN) Organizational Cohort study at Mashhad University of Medical Sciences (POCM), we conducted a cross-sectional study using 3 × 3 and 6 × 6 mm OCTA scans to evaluate the VD of the macular superficial capillary plexus (SCP), deep capillary plexus (DCP), and the FAZ area in healthy adults.

Results

The study included 792 participants, with a mean age of 39.8 ± 6.8 years. There were 359 males with a mean age of 39.9 ± 7.8 years and 440 females with a mean age of 39.4 ± 6 years. The mean values
