Table 1. Characteristics of subjects

A total of 650 Japanese subjects were examined. We purposely selected older control subjects to reduce the likelihood that a subset of this group would later develop glaucoma. No significant difference was observed in prevalence of systemic hypertension between POAG, NTG, and control groups. Data for age at diagnosis, maximum IOP, and visual field score are expressed as means±standard deviation. Data for systemic hypertension and history of glaucoma are counts with percentages in parentheses.
