Subfoveal Choroidal Thickness in Relation to Sex and Axial Length in 93 Danish University Students

Abstract

In this study of healthy young participants choroidal thickness was 18% higher in men than in women when adjusting for age and axial length. This observation may help explain the effect of sex in conditions related to choroidal thickness such as myopia, central serous chorioretinopathy, and age-related macular degeneration.
