Association of age with vessel densities in the retinal capillary plexus in the whole study population. a Whole measure area; b Parafovea; c Temporal; d Superior; e Nasal; f Inferior. In the SCP (dashed line) and DCP (solid line), the vessel densities decreased non-linearly with age. There was a rapid decline in vessel density at the age of 35–50 years in the DCP compared with the SCP. Models were adjusted for sex, education, current smoking status, current drinking status, body mass index, axial length, and signal strength index of optical coherence tomography angiography image. SCP, superficial retinal capillary plexus; DCP, deep retinal capillary plexus
