The aim of our study was to evaluate the prevalence of myopia in elementary school students and to assess the risk factors for myopia.
This school-based cross-sectional study was performed on students from two elementary schools in Jiaojiang, Taizhou City, China. A total of 556 students, whose age ranged from 9 to 12 years, were included. The uncorrected visual acuity and noncycloplegic refractive error tests were performed to determine the myopia. Each student was asked to fulfill the questionnaire about the possible factors associated with myopia. Multivariate logistic analyses of risk factors were conducted.
The overall prevalence of myopia among those students was 63.7%, ranged from 53.4% in grade 4 to 72.5% in grade 6. Multivariate logistic analysis showed that adjusting the height of desks and chairs according to the changing height and the presence of myopia in parents were significantly associated with myopia in these students, respectively.
Our results showed that myopia among elementary school students was associated with environmental and hereditary factors.
我们研究的目的是评估小学生近视的患病率，并评估近视的危险因素。
这项基于学校的横断面研究在中国台州市椒江区的两所小学的学生中进行。共纳入556名年龄在9至12岁之间的学生。进行未矫正视力和非散瞳验光检查以确定近视情况。要求每名学生填写关于与近视可能相关因素的问卷。对危险因素进行多因素逻辑分析。
这些学生中近视的总体患病率为63.7%，四年级为53.4%，六年级为72.5%。多因素逻辑分析表明，根据身高变化调整课桌椅高度以及父母患有近视分别与这些学生的近视显著相关。
我们的结果表明，小学生近视与环境和遗传因素有关。
