The study aimed at determining the associations between ocular biometry and anthropometric measurements in a Nigerian adult population.
Participants were healthy members of staff and students of Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospitals Complex, Ile-Ife. The height and weight were measured, and the body mass index (BMI) was calculated. Ocular axial length (AL), anterior chamber depth (ACD), keratometric readings (K) and corneal radius of curvature were measured with the IOL Master. Data were analysed with SPSS version 16 (IBM Corporation), and associations between ocular biometric variables and anthropometric measurements were explored.
Three hundred and fifty healthy participants aged 18-60 years (mean age: 34.8 ± 11.2 years) were enrolled. Height was significantly positively correlated with AL (r = 0.37, P< 0.01) and ACD (r = 0.17, P = 0.01) and negatively correlated with K (r = -0.28, P< 0.01). A significant positive correlation was found between weight and AL (r = 0.13, P = 0.02) while the BMI was only negatively correlated with ACD (r = -0.11, P = 0.04). In multivariate analysis, the relationship between height and AL (R2 = 0.58, P< 0.01) as well as ACD (R2= 0.11, P< 0.01) persisted. The relationship between weight and AL and that between BMI and ACD were totally abolished after controlling for age and height.
The body height is independently associated with ocular AL and ACD while the body weight and BMI are not independently associated with any of the ocular biometric indices studied.
本研究旨在确定尼日利亚成年人群体中眼部生物测量与人体测量指标之间的关联。
参与者为伊费奥巴费米·阿沃洛沃大学教学医院综合院区的健康工作人员和学生。测量身高和体重，并计算体重指数（BMI）。使用IOL Master测量眼轴长度（AL）、前房深度（ACD）、角膜曲率读数（K）和角膜曲率半径。数据采用SPSS 16版（IBM公司）进行分析，探讨眼部生物测量变量与人体测量指标之间的关联。
招募了350名年龄在18 - 60岁之间的健康参与者（平均年龄：34.8 ± 11.2岁）。身高与AL显著正相关（r = 0.37，P < 0.01）和ACD（r = 0.17，P = 0.01），与K负相关（r = -0.28，P < 0.01）。体重与AL之间存在显著正相关（r = 0.13，P = 0.02），而BMI仅与ACD负相关（r = -0.11，P = 0.04）。在多变量分析中，身高与AL（R2 = 0.58，P < 0.01）以及ACD（R2 = 0.11，P < 0.01）之间的关系依然存在。在控制年龄和身高后，体重与AL之间的关系以及BMI与ACD之间的关系完全消失。
身高与眼部AL和ACD独立相关，而体重和BMI与所研究的任何眼部生物测量指标均无独立关联。
