Macular ganglion cell complex layer thickness measured with spectral-domain OCT in a large population-based cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To establish the normal GCC thickness profile in the general population using SD-OCT in different macular sectors. Determining the systemic and ophthalmic factors associated with GCC thickness and further identifying the potential risk factors were the secondary objectives.

Methods

Participants in the population-based cohort study had to be at least thirty years old. Every participant had a routine ophthalmological examination. Using SD-OCT, the GCC thickness was determined. To assess the relationship between GCC thickness and systemic and ocular characteristics, mixed linear models were used. R V.4.1.1 was the statistical analysis program utilized.

Results

Two thousand four hundred ninety subjects, average age 56.60 ± 10.39 years, were collected in this analy
