Abstract
Abstract The Beijing Eye Study 2011 is a population-based cross-sectional study in Northern China, which enrolled 3468 participants whose age were more than 50 years. A detailed ophthalmic examination was performed including spectral-domain optical coherence tomography with enhanced depth imaging for measurement of SFCT and fundus photography. Blood pressure, fundus photographs and choroidal OCT-images were available for 3237 (93.3%) subjects, with 1953 (56.3 ± 0.8%) of the study population fulfilled the diagnosis of hypertension and 1089 subjects having hypertensive retinopathy. For the hypertensive cases, the SFCT in patients with hypertensive retinopathy (286.48 ± 105.23 µm) was significantly thicker than subjects without hypertensive retinopathy (187.04 ± 78.80 µm, P
