To study the association between adult stature and ocular biometric parameters and refraction.
In a population-based cross-sectional ophthalmic survey of 2418 adults (> or = 40 years old) living in the rural villages in central Myanmar, height and weight were measured using a standardized protocol, and body mass index was calculated. Non-cycloplegic refraction and corneal curvature were determined by an autorefractor. Ultrasound pachymetry was performed and ocular biometry, including axial length, anterior chamber depth, lens thickness and vitreous chamber length were measured using A-mode ocular ultrasonography.
Height and weight were significantly correlated with age, gender and all the ocular biometric parameters, except lens thickness. After adjusting for age and gender, taller and heavier persons had eyes with longer axial length, deeper anterior and vitreous chambers, and flatter and thicker corneas than shorter persons. Height was not significantly correlated with refraction, and heavier persons tended to be less myopic (P < 0.001). Multivariate linear regression models revealed consistent results with the findings for association between height, weight and ocular biometry and refractive error.
Adult stature is independently associated with vitreous chamber length and corneal radius in this Burmese population. Heavier persons were slightly hyperopic.
研究成人身高与眼部生物测量参数及屈光之间的关联。
在对居住在缅甸中部农村的2418名成年人（≥40岁）进行的基于人群的横断面眼科调查中，采用标准化方案测量身高和体重，并计算体重指数。使用自动验光仪测定非散瞳验光和角膜曲率。进行超声测厚，并使用A型眼部超声测量包括眼轴长度、前房深度、晶状体厚度和玻璃体腔长度在内的眼部生物测量参数。
身高和体重与年龄、性别以及除晶状体厚度外的所有眼部生物测量参数均显著相关。在调整年龄和性别后，与身材较矮者相比，身材较高和较重者的眼睛具有更长的眼轴长度、更深的前房和玻璃体腔，以及更平坦和更厚的角膜。身高与屈光无显著相关性，且体重较重者近视程度往往较低（P<0.001）。多变量线性回归模型显示的结果与身高、体重与眼部生物测量及屈光不正之间关联的研究结果一致。
在该缅甸人群中，成人身高与玻璃体腔长度和角膜半径独立相关。体重较重者有轻度远视。
