Population-based study reveals retinal structural changes linked to metabolic syndrome in middle-aged individuals, highlighting potential ocular health risks.
We detected a thinning of the macula in the MetS in our population-based cohort. The diameters of the retinal arteries decreased, and the venules increased in MetS. These findings suggest that obesity is related to structural changes in the eyes in middle-aged subjects, which may have implications for ocular health.
