PURPOSE
To estimate the prevalence of arcus senilis and its association with mortality in a diabetic population.
METHODS
A cohort of persons with younger (n = 996) and older onset (n = 1,370) diabetes was examined. Mortality information was obtained from death certificates.
RESULTS
Prevalence of arcus senilis increased with age and was higher in men than in women. In the younger onset group, it was also associated with a history of cardiovascular disease. As a risk factor for mortality after controlling for age and sex, arcus senilis was not associated with death from all causes, ischemic heart disease, or stroke.
CONCLUSION
Arcus senilis provides no more information about mortality risk than age of the person.
目的
评估糖尿病患者中角膜老年环的患病率及其与死亡率的关联。
方法
对一组年轻发病（n = 996）和老年发病（n = 1370）的糖尿病患者进行检查。从死亡证明中获取死亡率信息。
结果
角膜老年环的患病率随年龄增加，男性高于女性。在年轻发病组中，它也与心血管疾病史有关。作为控制年龄和性别后死亡率的一个风险因素，角膜老年环与全因死亡、缺血性心脏病或中风导致的死亡无关。
结论
角膜老年环在预测死亡风险方面并不比患者的年龄提供更多信息。
