To investigate the prevalence of age-related maculopathy (AMD) in Shanghai residents older than 50 years.
1023 individuals were examined in the years 2002 and 2003 for clinical and subjective signs of dry and exudative AMD. A interview concerning clinical symptoms of AMD as also a complete eye exam was performed. Non-mydriatic retinoscopy was done by use of a direct opthalmoscopy. Fundus photography was used to confirm and document the diagnosis. The diagnosis of both forms of AMD was made according to the criteria of the Sub-society of Fundus Disease, Chinese Ophthalmological Society.
15.5% of the included population had AMD and 19 of them were exudative AMD. The prevalences of AMD in the age groups of 50-59, 60-69, 70-79 and more than 80 were identified as 5.7%, 13.5%, 20.2% and 23.5%, respectively (chi(2) = 27.97, P < 0.01). No statistical differences were found concerning atrophic and exudative AMD related to gender, education, daily focus time, smoking, alcohol consumption and systematic diseases. In the AMD patients, 5.1% and 36.2% of the eyes were identified as blind or with low vision. In exudative AMD patients, 23.3% and 63.3% of the eyes were identified as blind or with low vision. The visual acuity of eyes with exudative AMD was significantly lower than the visual acuity of atrophic AMD eyes. (chi(2) = 15.4, P < 0.01).
The prevalence of AMD is high, and increasing with aging. The AMD, especially the exudative AMD, leads to severe visual impairment.
调查上海市50岁以上居民年龄相关性黄斑病变(AMD)的患病率。
在2002年和2003年对1023名个体进行检查,以查找干性和渗出性AMD的临床及主观体征。进行了关于AMD临床症状的访谈以及全面的眼部检查。使用直接检眼镜进行不散瞳视网膜镜检查。通过眼底摄影来确认和记录诊断结果。两种类型AMD的诊断均依据中华医学会眼科学分会眼底病学组的标准。
纳入人群中15.5%患有AMD,其中19例为渗出性AMD。50 - 59岁、60 - 69岁、70 - 79岁和80岁以上年龄组的AMD患病率分别为5.7%、13.5%、20.2%和23.5%(χ² = 27.97,P < 0.01)。在萎缩性和渗出性AMD方面,未发现与性别、教育程度、每日用眼时间、吸烟、饮酒及系统性疾病相关的统计学差异。在AMD患者中,5.1%的眼睛被判定为失明或视力低下,36.2%的眼睛存在此类情况。在渗出性AMD患者中,23.3%的眼睛被判定为失明或视力低下,63.3%的眼睛存在此类情况。渗出性AMD患者眼睛的视力显著低于萎缩性AMD患者眼睛的视力(χ² = 15.4,P < 0.01)。
AMD患病率较高,且随年龄增长而升高。AMD,尤其是渗出性AMD,会导致严重的视力损害。
