Abstract in brief

  • The study tracked 4,757 participants over 10 years to understand how age-related macular degeneration (AMD) progresses, focusing on factors like age, sex, smoking, and baseline AMD severity.
  • Results showed that the risk of advancing to severe AMD increased with older age, being female, and smoking, with certain individuals having up to a 48.1% risk of developing neovascular AMD within a decade.
  • Progression rates to more severe stages of AMD, including large drusen and advanced AMD, were higher in those with more severe initial AMD, and visual acuity generally declined over the 10-year period.
