To study types and thickness of interdigitation zone band in adult Chinese subjects, we conducted a cross-sectional study. The population-based Beijing Eye Study 2011 included 3468 individuals with a mean age of 64.6 +/- 9.8 years. 263 people (263eyes) with a mean age of 64.8 years were randomly selected cases without macular diseases included in the study. A detailed ophthalmic examination was performed including SD-OCT for measurement of the thickness of interdigitation zone band. There are two types of interdigitation zone band; the type1 which can distinguish RPE-BM complex in 170 eyes; and the Type 2 which the two layers merged involved 93 eyes. In type1, the mean thickness of the interdigitation zone band was significantly thicker in the foveal center (16.46 +/- 2.92 mu m), then nasal macular region (16.19 +/- 2.69 mu m), temporal macular region (15.73 +/- 2.68. mu m), superior region (15.72 +/- 2.70 mu m), and inferior macular region (14.84 +/- 2.63 mu m) (P all < 0.05). And the mean thickness of the interdigitation zone band in the foveal center associated with the subfoveal choroidal thickness (P = 0.025) and level of education (P = 0.033). The increase in the thickness of the interdigitation zone band may play a role in the pathophysiologic features of various age-related ocular conditions.
