Implication

Population-based study finds high prevalence of intraretinal hyperreflective foci in individuals with age-related macular degeneration, suggesting significant associations.

Key Points

Assess the prevalence and associations of intraretinal hyperreflective foci in the general population related to age-related macular degeneration.
Participants underwent optical coherence tomography and macula photography.
Analysis included 1641 eyes from the population-based Beijing Eye Study.
Prevalence of HRFs increased from 5.6% in normal eyes to 100% in late AMD eyes.
Higher HRF prevalence associated with increased AMD stage and higher prevalence of EZ defects and RPE elevations.
Multivariable analysis revealed significant associations with HRF presence (OR range: 1.75 to 36.6, all p<0.001).
