Risk Factors and Social Determinants of Health for Retinal Artery Occlusion in the National Institutes of Health All of Us Program

The authors aimed to investigate the risk factors and social determinants of health (SDOH) associated with retinal artery occlusion (RAO) using data from the National Institutes of Health All of Us program. Their findings revealed that older age, male sex, Black race, and certain types of insurance were positively associated with RAO, while higher education and income levels appeared to offer protective effects. This study highlights the importance of understanding both clinical and social factors in the epidemiology of RAO.
