This study set out to examine the associations between psychological, biomedical and socio-demographic factors in childhood and adulthood associated with the occurrence of self-reported eye conditions in adulthood. In total, 5706 participants with complete data on parental social class at birth, cognitive ability accessed at age 11 years, abnormal eye conditions by the age of 16 years diagnosed by medical professionals, educational qualifications obtained at age 33 years, the Big Five Factor personality traits measured at age 50 years, current occupational levels and self-reported eye conditions at age 54 years were included in the study. Logistic regression analysis showed that among all the factors examined early abnormal eye conditions, traits neuroticism and openness as well as sex were the significant predictors of self-reported eye conditions in adulthood.
本研究旨在探讨儿童期和成年期的心理、生物医学及社会人口学因素与成年期自我报告的眼部疾病发生之间的关联。该研究共纳入了5706名参与者，这些参与者具备以下完整数据：出生时父母的社会阶层、11岁时的认知能力、16岁时由医学专业人员诊断的眼部异常情况、33岁时获得的教育资格、50岁时测量的大五人格特质、当前职业水平以及54岁时自我报告的眼部疾病情况。逻辑回归分析表明，在所有研究因素中，早期眼部异常情况、神经质和开放性特质以及性别是成年期自我报告眼部疾病的显著预测因素。
