  1. 1First ANOVA (age and gender), 2Second ANOVA (age and parity (yes/no), females), 3Third ANOVA (age and oral contraception (yes/no), females). 4Multivariate repeated measures test. MMT (mean macular thickness) in three regions; MFT: mean foveal thickness (inner ring), MCT: mean central thickness (middle ring), MPT: mean peripheral thickness (outer ring). The outer diameter of the inner, middle and outer rings is 1, 2.22 and 3.45 millimeters respectively. For further definition of macular regions see Fig.1
