Abstract Background To establish a normative database for macular vessel density (VD) measured by optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) and explore the parameters related to the VD. Methods An observational study in epidemiology. 5840 healthy elderly participants in Beichen district, Tianjin, China underwent detailed ophthalmic and systemic examinations. OCTA was performed in all subjects using a 6 × 6-mm line scan mode centered on the macula and the built-in software was used to quantify VD and stratify the retina. Results One thousand four hundred sixty-one healthy elderly citizens (30.4% men) were included, with a median age of 60.0 years (8.0 years) and an age range of 50 to 87 years.VDs in the different plexuses: superficial capillary plexus (SCP) 43.9% (3.2%), deep capillary plexus (DCP) 44.3% (2.8%), outer capillary plexus (OCP) 21.9% (5.9%), choriocapillaris (CC) 52.1% (1.4%). 90% medical reference range of the VDs at different plexuses was reported. Age was correlated with the VDs of each capillary plexus. Sex was correlated with the VDs of DCP and OCP, and the VDs of DCP (p |
