Flat preparations of the central lens epithelium in 181 human donor eyes, 120 male, 61 female, were used to determine epithelial cell density. Donor age ranged from 13 to 91 years. A similar linear age-dependent decrease of cell density was found in both sexes. In addition, the epithelial cell density was significantly higher in females. The age-adjusted mean cell density in males was 5008.6 cells/mm2, in females 5780.6 cells/mm2. A similar sex difference had been found before in lens epithelium of human cataracts. The cause and significance of this observation are unknown.
在181只人类供体眼中制备中央晶状体上皮的扁平标本，其中男性120例，女性61例，用于确定上皮细胞密度。供体年龄在13至91岁之间。在两性中均发现细胞密度随年龄呈类似的线性下降。此外，女性的上皮细胞密度显著更高。男性经年龄调整后的平均细胞密度为5008.6个细胞/mm²，女性为5780.6个细胞/mm²。此前在人类白内障的晶状体上皮中也发现了类似的性别差异。这一观察结果的原因和意义尚不清楚。
