Multi-ethnic Study Of Atherosclerosis - Vision Component

该项目正处于密集的数据分析阶段，有几篇论文已发表、正在印刷或正在准备中。在主要的表型分析之后进行遗传分析的计划正在制定中。此外，正在考虑在2010年对这批人采取后续行动的初步计划，执行这项计划的幕后工作正在进行。

This project is in an intense data analysis phase with several papers published, in press, or under preparation. Plans to follow up primarily phenotype analyses with genetic analyses are under development. In addition, preliminary plans to follow-up this cohort in 2010 are under consideration and behind the scenes work to implement this is happening. The MESA Study has several ancillary studies one of which is this ocular component. Others include a lung component, and an air pollution component. Discussions to integrate and analyze data across components have resulted in several paper proposals.
