Agreement was assessed for overall image quality and image quality relevant for vessel density (VD) quantification and foveal avascular zone (FAZ) metrics. An analytic framework was also developed.Intergrader agreements for overall 3 × 3 mm image quality and quantitative assessment of VD and FAZ ranged between 71% and 87% (52 images). Intragrader agreements ranged between 82% and 93% (n = 27 images). Intergrader agreements were similar for 6 × 6-mm images. Three analytic scenarios were developed to account for bias that may result from image quality and ocular comorbidities.These recommendations provide a framework for working with OCT-A imaging in epidemiological studies on ADRD.Multicentric consensus on quality criteria for use of optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A) images in population studies was achieved, considering commonly used protocols acquired with commercially available devices (Heidelberg, Zeiss, and Topcon). Considerable inter- and intrarater agreement was achieved for assessment of OCT-A image quality. A framework for harmonized data analyses was designed. Standardized analyses may accelerate the development of scalable retinal imaging biomarkers for ADRD. 000278997 536__ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF4-354$$a354 - Disease Prevention and Healthy Aging (POF4-354)$$cPOF4-354$$fPOF IV$$x0 000278997 588__ $$aDataset connected to CrossRef, PubMed, , Journals: pub.dzne.de 000278997 650_7 $$2Other$$aAlzheimer's disease and related dementias 000278997 650_7 $$2Other$$aaccelerated cognitive ageing 000278997 650_7 $$2Other$$aepidemiology 000278997 650_7 $$2Other$$aharmonization 000278997 650_7 $$2Other$$aimaging 000278997 650_7 $$2Other$$amicrovascular dysfunction 000278997 650_7 $$2Other$$aneurodegenerative disease 000278997 650_7 $$2Other$$aoptical coherence tomography angiography 000278997 650_7 $$2Other$$apopulation‐based study 000278997 650_7 $$2Other$$aretinal imaging 000278997 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aHumans 000278997 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aTomography, Optical Coherence: methods 000278997 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aAlzheimer Disease: diagnostic imaging 000278997 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aRetinal Vessels: diagnostic imaging 000278997 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aReproducibility of Results 000278997 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aFluorescein Angiography: methods 000278997 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aFemale 000278997 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aDementia: diagnostic imaging 000278997 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aMale 000278997 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aAged 000278997 693__ $$0EXP:(DE-2719)Rhineland Study-20190321$$5EXP:(DE-2719)Rhineland Study-20190321$$eRhineland Study / Bonn$$x0 000278997 7001_ $$aBerendschot, Tos T J M$$b1 000278997 7001_ $$aBonnin, Sophie$$b2 000278997 7001_ $$aSobrin, Lucia$$b3 000278997 7001_ $$aDe Jesus, Danilo Andrade$$b4 000278997 7001_ $$aBrea, Luisa Sanchez$$b5 000278997 7001_ $$aMartinez, Ana Collazo$$b6 000278997 7001_ $$aRaman, Rajiv$$b7 000278997 7001_ $$ade Vries, Victor A$$b8 000278997 7001_ $$0P:(DE-2719)9002740$$aHuang, Haifan$$b9$$udzne 000278997 7001_ $$aconsortium, E3$$b10 000278997 7001_ $$aStudy, for the Maastricht$$b11$$eCollaboration Author 000278997 7001_ $$aStudy, Framingham Heart$$b12$$eCollaboration Author 000278997 7001_ $$aStudy, Rotterdam$$b13$$eCollaboration Author 000278997 7001_ $$aStudy, Rhineland$$b14$$eCollaboration Author 000278997 7001_ $$aStudy, SIGNATR$$b15$$eCollaboration Author 000278997 7001_ $$aMacGillivray, Tom$$b16 000278997 7001_ $$aRamdas, Wishal D$$b17 000278997 7001_ $$avan der Heide, Frank C T$$b18 000278997 773__ $$0PERI:(DE-600)2201940-6$$a10.1002/alz.70252$$gVol. 21, no. 6, p. e70252$$n6$$pe70252$$tAlzheimer's and dementia$$v21$$x1552-5260$$y2025 000278997 8564_ $$uhttps://pub.dzne.de/record/278997/files/DZNE-2025-00661.pdf$$yOpenAccess 000278997 8564_ $$uhttps://pub.dzne.de/record/278997/files/DZNE-2025-00661.pdf?subformat=pdfa$$xpdfa$$yOpenAccess 000278997 909CO $$ooai:pub.dzne.de:278997$$pdnbdelivery$$pdriver$$pVDB$$popen_access$$popenaire 000278997 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588)1065079516$$6P:(DE-2719)9002740$$aDeutsches Zentrum für Neurodegenerative Erkrankungen$$b9$$kDZNE 000278997 9131_ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF4-354$$1G:(DE-HGF)POF4-350$$2G:(DE-HGF)POF4-300$$3G:(DE-HGF)POF4$$4G:(DE-HGF)POF$$aDE-HGF$$bGesundheit$$lNeurodegenerative Diseases$$vDisease Prevention and Healthy Aging$$x0 000278997 9141_ $$y2025 000278997 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0200$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bSCOPUS$$d2025-01-06 000278997 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0300$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bMedline$$d2025-01-06 000278997 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0100$$2StatID$$aJCR$$bALZHEIMERS DEMENT : 2022$$d2025-01-06 000278997 915__ $$0LIC:(DE-HGF)CCBYNC4$$2HGFVOC$$aCreative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial CC BY-NC 4.0 000278997 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)3001$$2StatID$$aDEAL Wiley$$d2025-01-06$$wger 000278997 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0113$$2StatID$$aWoS$$bScience Citation Index Expanded$$d2025-01-06 000278997 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)9910$$2StatID$$aIF >= 10$$bALZHEIMERS DEMENT : 2022$$d2025-01-06 000278997 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0150$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bWeb of Science Core Collection$$d2025-01-06 000278997 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0510$$2StatID$$aOpenAccess 000278997 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0160$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bEssential Science Indicators$$d2025-01-06 000278997 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)1110$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bCurrent Contents - Clinical Medicine$$d2025-01-06 000278997 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0199$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bClarivate Analytics Master Journal List$$d2025-01-06 000278997 9201_ $$0I:(DE-2719)1012001$$kAG Breteler$$lPopulation Health Sciences$$x0 000278997 980__ $$ajournal 000278997 980__ $$aVDB 000278997 980__ $$aUNRESTRICTED 000278997 980__ $$aI:(DE-2719)1012001 000278997 9801_ $$aFullTexts
