Table 5. Age, gender and lens status of the Italian case-control cohort of age-related cataracts.

Lens status Age range Mean age (±2 SD) Males (%) Females (%) Total
Any cortical cataracts 57–86 75.6 (63.7–87.5) 57 (48) 62 (52) 119
Any nuclear cataracts 50–86 75.8 (63.0–88.6) 75 (60) 51 (40) 126
Any cataracts 50–86 75.7 (63.2–88.2) 114 (54) 99 (46) 213
Clear lenses 61–86 74.5 (64.6–84.5) 61 (59) 43 (41) 104

The cohort of unrelated individuals comprised a total of 213 age-related cataract cases and 104 clear lens controls, matched for age and gender. Cases with both nuclear and cortical cataracts (32) were counted in both the any cortical and any nuclear groups. Cases with any posterior sub-capsular cataracts (17) were not analyzed separately due to statistically insufficient numbers.
