Covariates included in the minimally adjusted model: age+sex.
Covariates included in the fully adjusted model: age+sex+history of cholesterol-lowering prescription. Adiposity measures were modelled separately by logistic regression for each AMD status change.
*The ß and CIs of android-to-total fat ratio were measured after pooling across five imputations already available in the dataset. The pooled p value was acquired using the median-p value rule. Appropriate weights and information on the complex sampling design of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were used to provide nationally representative estimates of the US population.
†Significant p values (p<0.05).
ß, beta-coefficient; AMD, age-related macular degeneration.
