BACKGROUND/AIMS: To describe risk factors associated with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) in Japanese subjects who participated in community health screenings.
Residents of Akita, Japan, participating in a community health checkup were selected to undergo a comprehensive ophthalmic examination. Glaucoma was diagnosed based on optic disk appearance, perimetric results, and other ocular findings. Systemic blood pressure and intraocular pressure were measured and ocular perfusion pressure was calculated. Logistic regression analysis was performed to determine risk factors for POAG patients.
Of the 710 subjects examined, 26 had POAG. The estimated prevalence of POAG was 3.7%. After adjusting for age, the prevalence of POAG was similar to that found in the Tajimi Study of Japanese subjects. Multivariate logistic regression analysis demonstrated that older age (≥60 years, odds ratio [OR]: 3.49), lower diastolic blood pressure (≤58 mmHg, OR: 2.11), higher intraocular pressure (≥19 mmHg, OR: 4.12), and lower ocular perfusion pressure (≤34 mmHg, OR: 5.78) were associated with increased risk of having POAG. These findings may be relevant for identifying high risk groups.
背景/目的:描述参与社区健康筛查的日本受试者中与原发性开角型青光眼(POAG)相关的危险因素。
选取日本秋田市参与社区健康检查的居民进行全面眼科检查。根据视盘外观、视野检查结果及其他眼部检查结果诊断青光眼。测量全身血压和眼压并计算眼灌注压。进行逻辑回归分析以确定POAG患者的危险因素。
在710名接受检查的受试者中,26人患有POAG。POAG的估计患病率为3.7%。在调整年龄后,POAG的患病率与对日本受试者进行的田研究中发现的患病率相似。多变量逻辑回归分析表明,年龄较大(≥60岁,比值比[OR]:3.49)、舒张压较低(≤58 mmHg,OR:2.11)、眼压较高(≥19 mmHg,OR:4.12)和眼灌注压较低(≤34 mmHg,OR:5.78)与患POAG的风险增加相关。这些发现可能有助于识别高危人群。
