423 cataract patients and 608 controls between the ages of 50 and 79 were interviewed in a case-control study in Oxfordshire. Diabetes, myopia, glaucoma, peripheral neuropathy and severe diarrhoea were identified as risk factors. The excess risk experienced by females with diabetes was confirmed. The trauma of surgery for glaucoma may be largely responsible for the appearance of glaucoma as a risk factor. Severe diarrhoea has now been identified as a risk factor in England and in India. The risk associated with peripheral neuropathy may indicate a common aetiology at least for some proportions of the two conditions.
在牛津郡的一项病例对照研究中，对423名年龄在50至79岁之间的白内障患者和608名对照者进行了访谈。糖尿病、近视、青光眼、周围神经病变和严重腹泻被确定为危险因素。糖尿病女性所经历的额外风险得到了证实。青光眼手术创伤可能在很大程度上导致青光眼成为一个危险因素。严重腹泻现已被确定为英国和印度的一个危险因素。与周围神经病变相关的风险可能至少表明这两种疾病在某些比例上存在共同病因。
