Table 1.

Demographic, ocular, and general medical characteristics in glaucoma patients and control subjects. A total of 745 Japanese subjects were examined. No significant difference was observed in prevalence of systemic diseases between POAG, NTG, and control groups. Data for age at diagnosis, age at blood sampling, untreated maximum IOP, and visual field score at diagnosis are expressed as mean±standard deviation. Data for systemic diseases and history of glaucoma are counts with percentages in parentheses.
