Figure 3 Frequency of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) stages in the SHIP-TREND-1 cohort. Most of the subjects included in the statistical analysis showed no abnormalities on fundus imaging. Only 55 subjects showed pigmentary changes in the macular area as part of the initial changes of AMD. There were only a few late AMD changes and only 1 final (dry) stage of AMD (stage 4a). This final stage, a geographic atrophy, is shown in Figure 1B. (Stata 17.0, StataCorp LLC, Texas, USA).
