Idiopathic uveitis constituted the largest proportion, with a pooled proportion of 41.45% (95% CI 30.63\u201353.16%). Infectious etiologies included herpetic uveitis (pooled proportion 11.40%, 95% CI 7.45\u201317.04%), cytomegalovirus (3.09%, 95% CI 1.01\u20139.06%) and tuberculosis (5.10%, 95% CI 2.58\u20139.83%). Non-infectious causes, such as sarcoidosis (5.21%, 95% CI 2.78\u20139.55%) and HLA-B27-associated uveitis (6.05%, 95% CI 3.35\u201310.71%), also contributed substantially.

High heterogeneity highlights regional variations and diagnostic challenges.

Within Asia, the only continent contributing multiple studies, subgroup analysis reduced heterogeneity for some etiologies, suggesting that regional factors contribute to the observed variability.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s10792-026-04170-z","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,19]],"date-time":"2026-07-19T11:07:54Z","timestamp":1784459274000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Epidemiological characterization of uveitis in the elderly population: a systematic review and meta-analysis"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"46","author":[{"given":"Tom","family":"Liba","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Eran","family":"Levanon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alon","family":"Gorenshtein","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jacob","family":"Megreli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gil","family":"Ben-David","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Itamar","family":"Gothelf","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Asaf","family":"Bar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rita","family":"Ehrlich","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"4170_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"502","DOI":"10.1001\/archopht.1962.00960030506014","volume":"68","author":"RW Darrell","year":"1962","unstructured":"Darrell RW, Wagener HP, Kurland LT (1962) Epidemiology of uveitis.
