Aim. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between anthropometry, amplitude of accommodation assessed by minus-lens to blur (AAPUB) and push-up to blur (AAMLB), and spherical equivalent refraction (SEQ). Method. A total of two hundred and one subjects aged between 17 and 70 years with mean age of 34.2 ± 13.3 years, consisting of 93 males and 108 females were recruited for this study. Anthropometric variables were measured with standard instruments like the free-standing rod for height, weighing balance for body weight, and body mass index (BMI) calculated. The refractive error was measured by static retinoscopy and subjective refraction. Result. An inverse correlation was found between age, AAMLB and AAPUB (r = -0.84, -0.81, both P < 0.0001). BMI increased with age (r = 0.32, P < 0.0001). There was an inverse correlation between BMI, AAPUB and AAMLB (r = -0.27, -0.25, both P < 0.0001), respectively. However, the association between SEQ and anthropometry was not significant (P > 0.05). The AAPUB and AAMLB decreased with age while BMI increased. AAPUB and AAMLB decreased with BMI, but were not affected by the SEQ. Conclusion. BMI increased with age while AA measured by the two methods decreased with age, and BMI increased with decreasing AA.
目的。本研究的目的是调查人体测量学、通过负透镜致模糊评估的调节幅度（AAPUB）和上推致模糊（AAMLB）与等效球镜度（SEQ）之间的关联。方法。本研究共招募了201名年龄在17至70岁之间、平均年龄为34.2±13.3岁的受试者，其中男性93名，女性108名。使用标准仪器测量人体测量学变量，如用独立杆测量身高、用体重秤测量体重并计算体重指数（BMI）。通过静态检影验光和主观验光测量屈光不正。结果。发现年龄、AAMLB和AAPUB之间呈负相关（r = -0.84，-0.81，P均<0.0001）。BMI随年龄增加（r = 0.32，P < 0.0001）。BMI与AAPUB和AAMLB之间分别呈负相关（r = -0.27，-0.25，P均<0.0001）。然而，SEQ与人体测量学之间的关联不显著（P>0.05）。AAPUB和AAMLB随年龄下降而BMI上升。AAPUB和AAMLB随BMI下降，但不受SEQ影响。结论。BMI随年龄增加，而通过两种方法测量的调节幅度随年龄下降，且BMI随调节幅度下降而增加。
