Ethnicity as a risk factor for early and advanced vision loss archetypes

Caption

The figure shows that Blacks had a 2-fold increased risk for early loss archetypes compared to non-Hispanic Whites. Blacks had a 5-fold increased risk of advanced loss archetypes. The difference in increased risk for Blacks between the advanced loss archetypes versus the early loss archetypes was also statistically significant. The insets show examples of an early loss archetype on the left and an advanced loss archetype on the right.
