To analyse the prevalence of myopia among a sample of more than 6000 children in Spain as well as to determine the impact of risk factors in its progression.
A total of 6,152 children aged from 5 to 7 were examined. The participants underwent an eye examination that included visual acuity, refraction without cycloplegia, and tests of accommodative and binocular function. In addition, a questionnaire regarding their lifestyle, family history, and geographical data was carried out. Finally, data were analysed using the SPSS version 25 program.
The prevalence of myopia in the sample of children studied has increased from 17% in 2016 to 20% in 2017. Likewise, the number of children with high myopia has also increased, from 1.7% in 2016 to 3.6% in 2017. 43.3% of the participants spent more than 3 hours a day doing near activities, and 48.9% of this group spent more than 50% of this time using electronic devices. In addition, only 9.7% spent more than 2.5 hours outdoors each day.
Myopia prevalence appears to be increasing in Spain. Lifestyle factors appear to be increasing the risk of myopia.
分析西班牙6000多名儿童样本中的近视患病率，并确定风险因素对其进展的影响。
共检查了6152名5至7岁的儿童。参与者接受了眼部检查，包括视力、非散瞳验光以及调节和双眼功能测试。此外，还进行了一份关于他们生活方式、家族史和地理数据的问卷调查。最后，使用SPSS 25版程序对数据进行分析。
在所研究的儿童样本中，近视患病率从2016年的17%上升至2017年的20%。同样，高度近视儿童的数量也有所增加，从2016年的1.7%增至2017年的3.6%。43.3%的参与者每天花超过3小时进行近距离活动，其中48.9%的人在这段时间里有超过50%的时间使用电子设备。此外，只有9.7%的人每天在户外的时间超过2.5小时。
西班牙的近视患病率似乎在上升。生活方式因素似乎在增加近视风险。
