The association of fuel use and ocular morbidity in a village in western India was investigated in a cross sectional prevalence survey involving 469 randomly selected subjects. All subjects were interviewed and underwent medical and ophthalmological examination. Wood use was found to be an important factor in the aetiology of age dependent cataract (OR 2.12, 95% CI 1.03-4.34). When comparing wood only and LPG only users, the odds ratio was 3.47 (95% CI 1.05-11.50). In cases of eye irritation, coal use (OR 2.04, 95% CI 1.13-3.68) and cattle dung use (OR 1.83, 95% CI 1.35-2.47) were shown to be important factors, while male sex posed a lesser risk.
在一项涉及469名随机选择受试者的横断面患病率调查中,对印度西部一个村庄的燃料使用与眼部疾病之间的关联进行了调查。所有受试者均接受了访谈,并接受了医学和眼科检查。发现使用木材是年龄相关性白内障病因中的一个重要因素(比值比2.12,95%可信区间1.03 - 4.34)。仅使用木材的用户与仅使用液化石油气的用户相比,比值比为3.47(95%可信区间1.05 - 11.50)。在眼部刺激病例中,使用煤炭(比值比2.04,95%可信区间1.13 - 3.68)和使用牛粪(比值比1.83,95%可信区间1.35 - 2.47)被证明是重要因素,而男性的风险较小。
