A detrimental shift in cardiovascular disease risk
factors and a higher mortality level are reported in some black
populations. The retinal microvasculature provides insight into
the pathogenesis of systemic vascular diseases, but it is unclear
whether retinal vessel calibers and acute retinal vessel functional
responses differ between young healthy black and white adults
