“…6 McCarty et al 7 summarized the prevalence of ERM in different populations after direct age standardization, and reported that the prevalence of ERM was lowest in a Japanese population sample (the Hisayama Study, 2.8%) and was highest in a Latino population in the United States (the Los Angeles Latino Eye Study: 19.0%). 7 In relation to the prevalence of ERM in the Chinese population, it was much lower than that reported (the Beijing Eye Study: 2.2%). 8 The reasons for the wide range of ERM prevalence across different studies are not clear.…”

“…[6][7][8][9][10][11] It has been suggested that the higher prevalence in Hispanics as compared with other racial groups may be related to the higher frequency of diabetes in this racial/ethnic group. 9 In this report, we aim to describe the age-and genderspecific prevalence of ERM and associated risk factors in an adult Japanese population and to compare the prevalence rates with two other mainly white populations (the Blue Mountains Eye Study (BMES) in Australia and the Beaver Dam Eye study (BDES) in Wisconsin, USA) after age standardization to the world standard population.…”

“…12,13,15,17 In a more striking manner, the prevalence rate of cellophane maculopathy in the Beijing Eye Study (1.11% per eye and 1.8% per subject) was markedly lower than that in the Blue Mountain Study (4.8%), the Visual Impairment Project in Australia (4.8%), and particularly lower than in the Beaver Dam Study (9%) and the LALES Study (16.3%). 12,13,15,17 As in the previous studies, the presence of epiretinal membranes was associated with age. In addition, epiretinal membranes were more common in hyperopic eyes.…”

“…11 Despite their clinical significance, there have been, besides a series of hospital-based studies, only six population-based investigations on the occurrence and associations of epiretinal membranes with other ocular and general parameters. [12][13][14][15][16][17] All these epidemiological studies were focused on whites, Hispanics or Japanese. Considering that China is the largest nation and that information about epiretinal membranes in the Chinese population is very scarce, it was the purpose of the present study to assess the prevalence of epiretinal membranes and their associations with ocular and general factors in Chinese as part of the Beijing Eye Study.…”

“…The prevalence of ERM increased significantly by age group and was similar in males and females after adjusting for age. [20] The prevalence of epiretinal membranes was significantly associated with age. [21] ERMs were present in 18.5% of the participants.…”
