1. Researchers used artificial intelligence to analyze retinal thickness and genetic influences.
2. They found associations between retinal health and systemic diseases, including multiple sclerosis, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia, as well as metabolic influences on retinal health, including glucose, triglycerides, and omega-3 fatty acids.
3. Genetic loci were linked to eye pigmentation and optic nerve abnormalities.
4. Artificial intelligence has value in processing high-dimensional data in future research.
