To evaluate the associations of several life-style-related factors with intraocular pressure (IOP).
Of a total of 649 men and women who had been examined in an annual health check-up being conducted by a general hospital in Ibaraki prefecture, Japan, 569 individuals (age range, 29-79 years) who had not undergone any medical treatment for hypertension, ocular hypertension, or glaucoma, were selected as the subjects of this study. The associations of several life-style-related factors with the IOP were evaluated by multiple regression analyses and analyses of covariance.
Body mass index (BMI), alcohol consumption score, and cigarette consumption were found to have a significantly positive association with the IOP in men (P for trend =.002, <.001, and <.001, respectively). In women also, the BMI was positively related to the IOP (P for trend =.071). In respect to the effects of coffee consumption, it was shown that in men the mean IOP adjusted for age, the BMI, alcohol intake score, cigarette consumption, and blood pressure were significantly lower in habitual coffee drinkers than in coffee abstainers (P =.016).
The results of this study suggest that the IOP level may be substantially affected by daily life-style among Japanese.
评估多种与生活方式相关的因素与眼压（IOP）之间的关联。
在日本茨城县一家综合医院进行的年度健康检查中，共有649名男性和女性接受了检查，其中569名（年龄范围29 - 79岁）未接受过高血压、高眼压或青光眼治疗的个体被选为该研究的对象。通过多元回归分析和协方差分析评估多种与生活方式相关的因素与眼压之间的关联。
发现体重指数（BMI）、饮酒得分和吸烟量与男性的眼压呈显著正相关（趋势P值分别为0.002、<0.001和<0.001）。在女性中，BMI也与眼压呈正相关（趋势P值 = 0.071）。关于咖啡饮用的影响，结果显示，在男性中，经年龄、BMI、酒精摄入量得分、吸烟量和血压调整后的平均眼压，习惯性咖啡饮用者显著低于不喝咖啡者（P = 0.016）。
本研究结果表明，在日本人中，眼压水平可能受到日常生活方式的显著影响。
