APAC, acute primary angle closure; CPAC, chronic primary angle closure; PACS, primary angle closure suspect; NC, normal controls; β values (95%CI) and values are from univariate (crude model) and multivariate (adjusted model) analyses with mixed effect linear models. The statistical significances are consistent between different models.
