It has been well recognized that myopia more likely affects East Asians, particularly the Japanese and Chinese population. Although some studies have reported the prevalence of myopia in children living in mainland China, most of these studies are based on subjects with unknown representativeness, non-uniform definition, and measurement methods. A higher prevalence of myopia in urban settings, compared with rural settings, has been consistently suggested in several studies. This article intends to review the available data on the prevalence of myopia in Chinese children living in China; particular consideration is given to the evidence of urban-rural differences and their implications.
人们已经充分认识到，近视在东亚人群中更为常见，尤其是日本人和中国人。尽管一些研究报告了中国大陆儿童的近视患病率，但这些研究大多基于代表性不明、定义不统一以及测量方法各异的研究对象。多项研究一致表明，城市地区儿童的近视患病率高于农村地区。本文旨在综述有关中国境内中国儿童近视患病率的现有数据；特别关注城乡差异的证据及其影响。
