This community-based study was carried out to estimate the prevalence and identify the determinants of glaucoma in the Omani population in 2005-06. Residents of 75 randomly selected houses in 25 clusters participated in the survey. We interviewed and examined 3324 individuals aged > or = 30 years in their homes and in eye clinics to note personal details, glaucoma status and presence of selected risk factors: 180 were diagnosed as having glaucoma. Projected prevalence of glaucoma among the Omani population > or = 30 years was 4.75%. Open angle and angle closure types of glaucoma contributed 40.6% and 37.8% respectively. History of hypertension was negatively, and older age and family history of glaucoma were positively, associated with glaucoma.
这项基于社区的研究旨在估计2005 - 2006年阿曼人群中青光眼的患病率并确定其决定因素。在25个群组中随机选择75所房屋的居民参与了调查。我们在他们家中和眼科诊所对3324名年龄大于或等于30岁的个体进行了访谈和检查,以记录个人详细信息、青光眼状况和选定风险因素的存在情况:180人被诊断患有青光眼。阿曼30岁及以上人群中青光眼的预计患病率为4.75%。开角型和闭角型青光眼分别占40.6%和37.8%。高血压病史与青光眼呈负相关,年龄较大和青光眼家族史与青光眼呈正相关。
