Taking into account that the random sampling method was not applied, the acquired data were weighted to obtain...

... performed a quantitative assessment of the relationship between age and vulnerability of the eye health. Estimation of the linear regression model showed that every ad- ditional 5 years of life after the age of 50 increased the probability of a person to have vulnerable eye health by about 9% (Figure 4). These results are particularly important, given the mentioned pro- cesses of aging in the population of Armenia. ...
