ImportanceAsian Indians are the fastest growing migration groups in the world. Studies evaluating the impact of migration on disease outcomes in this population are rare.BackgroundWe describe the methodology of the Singapore Indian Eye Study-2 (SINDI-2) aimed to evaluate the impact of migration status on diabetic retinopathy and other major age-related eye diseases in Asian Indians living in an urban environment.DesignPopulation-based cohort study.ParticipantsA total of 2200 adults had participated in baseline SINDI (2007-2009, mean age [range]=57.8 [42.7-84.1]years) and SINDI-2 (2013-2015, 56.5 [48.4-90.2]years).MethodsParticipants were classified as first generation' if they were Indian residents born outside of Singapore and as second-generation' immigrants (59.7% in SINDI vs. 63.6% in SINDI-2) if they were born in Singapore.Main Outcome MeasuresResponse rate, participant characteristics and prevalence of systemic diseases were stratified by migration status.ResultsOf the 2914 eligible SINDI participants invited to participate, 2200 participated in SINDI-2 (response rate of 75.2%). In both SINDI and SINDI-2, compared with first-generation immigrants, second-generation immigrants were younger, less likely to have income
