A study in Psychological Science found blood vessels in the back of the eye can reveal the health of your brain. The scientists found those with more veins have poor IQ in middle age. Other factors such as smoking, diabetes or social and economic status has no effect.
According to Shalev, author of the study, the blood vessels of the eye reflects the condition of your brain because the size, structure and function is similar. "The blood vessels develop from the same cells with the blood vessels in the brain," said Shalev.
Previous research has linked the size of the blood vessels in the eye with the risk of dementia, heart disease, stroke. The study was conducted in the elderly. But it could also be done in children, the result even more obvious.
Then Shalev added, retinal imaging can detect changes to a high risk of heart disease. Changes in the eye from time to time, especially in middle age may indicate a health problem. If not, change can happen without being noticed. Because of health problems do not display symptoms until a long time.
