Purpose

To evaluate the relationship between physical activity (physical activity) and choroidal circulation in older adults with primary open-angle glaucoma (primary open-angle glaucoma) using swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography (swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography).

Methods

This cross-sectional study included participants aged 60 years or older from the Elderly Glaucoma and Sleep Study, comprising both patients with primary open-angle glaucoma and age-matched controls.

β = 0.06, P = 0.004
Results
β = 0.06, P = 0.004
More moderate-to-vigorous activity was linked to higher choriocapillaris blood flow density
More results

Older adults with primary open-angle glaucoma engaged in substantially lower levels of physical activity, particularly moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, and showed reduced choroidal vascular volume and CC FD compared with age-matched controls (all P < 0.05).

“
Conclusion · 1 of 2

Older adults with primary open-angle glaucoma showed reduced habitual physical activity levels and impaired macular choroidal circulation.

Conclusion · 2 of 2

Longer moderate-to-vigorous physical activity duration was associated with better macular choroidal circulation in older adults with primary open-angle glaucoma.
