Distribution of AMD and cataract surgeries by ethnicity.

Data presented are no. (%). Analysis was done on eye level. aP values are for 2x2 comparisons between variable of interest (yes/no) and ethnicity (malays/indians), 1 degree of freedom chi-square test. Pseudophakic/aphakic eyes were more likely have early AMD (9.1%) or any AMD (9.3%), compared to phakic eyes (3.0% and 3.4% with early and any AMD, respectively, both p <0.001, Table 3). In the univariate analysis, the ARMS2 (rs3750847) genotype was significantly associated with early AMD and any AMD (both p <0.001), while the CFH (rs10801555) genotype had marginally significant association with any AMD (p = 0.049) but not with early AMD (p = 0.160, Table 1).
