The population-based Beijing Eye Study 2011 included 3468 individuals with a mean age of 64.6 \u00b1 9.8 years. 263 people (263eyes) with a mean age of 64.8 years were randomly selected cases without macular diseases included in the study. A detailed ophthalmic examination was performed including SD-OCT for measurement of the thickness of interdigitation zone band. There are two types of interdigitation zone band; the type1 which can distinguish RPE\u2013BM complex in 170 eyes; and the Type 2 which the two layers merged involved 93 eyes. In type1, the mean thickness of the interdigitation zone band was significantly thicker in the foveal center (16.46\u2009\u00b1\u20092.92\u2009\u03bcm), then nasal macular region (16.19\u2009\u00b1\u20092.69\u2009\u03bcm), temporal macular region (15.73\u2009\u00b1\u20092.68\u2009.\u2009\u03bcm), superior region (15.72\u2009\u00b1\u20092.70\u2009\u03bcm), and inferior macular region (14.84\u2009\u00b1\u20092.63\u2009\u03bcm) (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> all\u2009&lt;\u20090.05). And the mean thickness of the interdigitation zone band in the foveal center associated with the subfoveal choroidal thickness (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.025) and level of education (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.033). The increase in the thickness of the interdigitation zone band may play a role in the pathophysiologic features of various age-related ocular conditions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1038\/s41598-018-30848-1","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,8,10]],"date-time":"2018-08-10T10:24:29Z","timestamp":1533896669000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography to evaluate the type and thickness of interdigitation zone band in adult Chinese"],"prefix":"10.1038","volume":"8","author":[{"given":"Lei","family":"Shao","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Qing Lin","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ling Xiao","family":"Zhou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Liang","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Qi Sheng","family":"You","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wen Bin","family":"Wei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,8,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"30848_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"5","DOI":"10.1016\/j.exer.2014.04.021","volume":"126","author":"GL Lehmann","year":"2014","unstructured":"Lehmann, G.
