A prospective study of 2121 patients in the southeastern United States having no evidence of glaucoma, suspected of having primary open angle glaucoma, having primary open angle glaucoma, or having open angle glaucoma with exfoliation syndrome revealed an overall prevalence of exfoliation syndrome of 1.6% and a prevalence in the glaucoma subpopulation of 6.0%. All but one of the 33 patients with exfoliation syndrome were at least 60 years of age, and the prevalence of exfoliation syndrome in the subgroup of 1000 patients in this age group was 3.2%. Among the patients in this age group who did not have open angle glaucoma, 1.6% had exfoliation syndrome, and this prevalence was significantly less than those reported in studies from other geographic areas.
一项针对美国东南部2121名患者的前瞻性研究，这些患者无青光眼证据、疑似患有原发性开角型青光眼、患有原发性开角型青光眼或患有剥脱综合征性开角型青光眼，结果显示剥脱综合征的总体患病率为1.6%，在青光眼亚组中的患病率为6.0%。33例剥脱综合征患者中除1例之外均至少60岁，该年龄组1000例患者中剥脱综合征的患病率为3.2%。在该年龄组未患开角型青光眼的患者中，1.6%患有剥脱综合征，这一患病率显著低于其他地理区域研究报告的患病率。
