Purpose:
To characterize prevalence estimates by race, age, sex, and comorbidity (diabetes and hypertension) within the Medicare beneficiary demographic.
Methods:
In this US population-based retrospective cohort analysis, the Vision and Eye Health Surveillance System was analyzed for a 100% sample of Medicare Fee-For-Service beneficiary populations of Asians and non-Hispanic Whites between 2014 and 2018. Exclusionary criteria included beneficiaries younger than 40 years. Prevalence rate ratios, defined as prevalence rate for Asians divided by prevalence rate for non-Hispanic Whites, were calculated using multivariate negative binomial regression or Pearson-scaled Poisson regression, stratified by age, sex, and comorbidity.
Results:
A total of 21,892,200 Medicare beneficiaries fulfilled the inclusionary criteria in 2018. Of the entire cohort, 3.2% of the beneficiaries (N = 714,500) were Asian. For beneficiaries aged 40 to 64 years, Asian male (prevalence rate ratios 1.73, 95% confidence interval 1.64–1.83, P
