Abstract：Objective To evaluate the association between retinal microvascular disease and acute coronary event in aged.Methods A 3-year prospective study was conducted among aged people who were taken physical examination , reti-nal vasography and a baseline examination by study physicians .Cox multivariate proportional hazards regression 1 was ap-plied to explore various factors to ACE .Results During the 3 years follow-up, there were 256 incidences of endpoint e-vent and 101 incidences of major endpoint event observed .The morbidity of ACE were 292.5/10 000 person-years.In reti-nal microvascular normal group , mildly abnormal group and moderate-severe group, the morbidity of ACE were 242.8, 293.2, 640.8/10 000 person-years.The Cox multivariate proportional hazards regression showed smoking , retinal micro-vascular disease , hypertension and age were found to be the influencing factors for the occur of ACE .Conclusions In the aged Chinese cohort , retinal microvascular disease are the independent risk factor for ACE , retinal microvascular lesion condition is heavier , the higher the incidence of ACE .
