In 38 age-related macular degeneration (AMD) fellow eyes, without fundus findings (26 men, 71.7 \u00b1 1.9 years old), and 22 control eyes (11 men, 69.4 \u00b1 1.8), the choriocapillaris flow area (CCFA) ratio and coefficient of variation (CV) of the CCFA ratio (which represented the heterogeneity of the ratio), negatively and positively correlated with age (all p &lt; 0.01), respectively. Moreover, the respective mean values were lower (p = 0.0031) and greater (p = 0.002) in AMD fellow eyes than in the control eyes. The high-risk condition of AMD fellow eyes was defined by a CCFA ratio &lt;58.5%, and the CV of the CCFA ratio \u22650.165 (odds ratio (OR), 5.408; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.117\u201321.118, p = 0.035, after adjusting for age and sex) was related to the presence of fundus autofluorescence abnormality (OR, 16.440; 95% CI, 1.262\u2013214.240; p = 0.033) and asymmetrically dilated choroidal large vasculature (OR, 4.176; 95% CI, 1.057\u201316.503; p = 0.042), after adjusting for age and sex. The presence of fundus autofluorescence abnormality indicated a retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) abnormality. The RPE volume was reduced in the latter eye group, particularly in the thinner choroidal vasculature. In addition to aging, RPE abnormality and choroidal large vascular flow imbalances were associated with exacerbated heterogeneous choriocapillaris flow deficits in AMD fellow eyes without macular neovascularization.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm12041360","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,9]],"date-time":"2023-02-09T01:37:07Z","timestamp":1675906627000},"page":"1360","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Retinal Pigment Epithelial Abnormality and Choroidal Large Vascular Flow Imbalance Are Associated with Choriocapillaris Flow Deficits in Age-Related Macular Degeneration in Fellow Eyes"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Norihiro","family":"Nagai","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, St. Luke\u2019s International Hospital, 9-1 Akashi-cho, Chuo-ku, Tokyo 104-8560, Japan"},{"name":"Laboratory of Retinal Cell Biology, St. Luke\u2019s International University, 9-1 Akashi-cho, Chuo-ku, Tokyo 104-8560, Japan"},{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Keio University School of Medicine, 35 Shinanomachi, Shinjukuku, Tokyo 160-8582, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yasuaki","family":"Mushiga","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, St. Luke\u2019s International Hospital, 9-1 Akashi-cho, Chuo-ku, Tokyo 104-8560, Japan"},{"name":"Laboratory of Retinal Cell Biology, St. Luke\u2019s International University, 9-1 Akashi-cho, Chuo-ku, Tokyo 104-8560, Japan"},{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Keio University School of Medicine, 35 Shinanomachi, Shinjukuku, Tokyo 160-8582, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4797-5705","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yoko","family":"Ozawa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, St. Luke\u2019s International Hospital, 9-1 Akashi-cho, Chuo-ku, Tokyo 104-8560, Japan"},{"name":"Laboratory of Retinal Cell Biology, St. Luke\u2019s International University, 9-1 Akashi-cho, Chuo-ku, Tokyo 104-8560, Japan"},{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Keio University School of Medicine, 35 Shinanomachi, Shinjukuku, Tokyo 160-8582, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"295","DOI":"10.1016\/j.mam.2012.04.005","article-title":"Understanding age-related macular degeneration (AMD): Relationships between the photoreceptor\/retinal pigment epithelium\/Bruch\u2019s membrane\/choriocapillaris complex","volume":"33","author":"Bhutto","year":"2012","journal-title":"Mol.
