Age-based analysis of XXXX in @entity725 .

@entity1 @entity725 @entity3193 @entity726
UNASSIGNED: We aimed to assess @entity3193 in @entity1 with @entity725 ( @entity725 ) using enhanced depth imaging (EDI) optical coherence tomography (OCT) with age-based analysis. Fifty-four @entity1 with a confirmed diagnosis of @entity725 and 44 age-sex matched healthy subjects were included into the study. A masked physician performed measurements of largest choroidal vessel diameter and choroidal thicknesses (subfoveal, nasal, and temporal) using EDI OCT. Subgroup analyses were performed to compare choroidal measurements based on age (with a cut point of 70  years). The study cohort comprised 54 @entity1 with @entity725 (mean age of 63.2      8.8  years) and 44 healthy control subjects (mean age of 62.9      8.5  years) (P  =  0.870). We found no significant differences in terms of choroidal measurements (P  >  0.05) between the @entity726 and control groups. However, in the @entity726 group, @entity1 with an age  >= 70  years had significantly thinner subfoveal and nasal choroid compared to those of the @entity1 with <70  years of age (P  =  0.017, 0.002 respectively). In the control group, @entity3193 showed no significant difference when the subjects were subgrouped according to the age cut point (P  >  0.05). @entity3193 seem not to differ between @entity1 with @entity725 and healthy controls. However, an age  >= 70  years might be associated with thinning in subfoveal and nasal choroid in @entity1 with @entity725 . Further studies are needed to elucidate whether choroidal thinning is a cause or result in @entity725 .
