Abstract

Purpose

Deep learning artificial intelligence can determine the sex using only fundus photographs. However, the factors used by deep learning to determine the sex are not visible. Therefore, the purpose of the study was to determine whether the sex of an older individual can be determined by regression analysis of their color fundus photographs (CFPs).

Methods

Forty-two parameters were analyzed by regression analysis using 1653 CFPs of normal subjects in the Kumajima study. The parameters included the mean values of red, green, and blue intensities; the tessellation fundus index; the optic disc ovality ratio; the papillomacular angle; and the retinal vessel angles. Finally, the L2 regularized binomial logistic regression was used to predict the sex using all the parameters, and the diagnostic ability was assessed through the leave-one-cross-validation.

Results

The mean age of the 838 men and 815 women were 52.8 and 54.0 years, respectively. The ovality ratio and retinal artery angles in women were significantly smaller than that in men. The green intensity at all locations for the women were significantly higher than that of men (P < 0.001). The discrimination accuracy rate assessed by the area-under-the-curve was 80.4%.

Conclusions

Our methods can determine the sex from the CFPs of the adult with an accuracy of 80.4%. The ovality ratio, retinal vessel angles, tessellation, and the green intensities of the fundus are important factors to identify the sex in individuals over 40 years old.
