An attempt was made to study the associations between age, intraocular pressure, and systolic blood pressure. The eyes of 90 non-glaucomatous, ocular normotensive patients and of 142 ocular hypertensive patients were examined. A third group was formed from these two by stratification, to mirror the intraocular pressure distribution in the general population. In all three groups systolic blood pressure was positively correlated with age. In the stratified group a 'chain' model was consistent with the data. Intraocular pressure was significantly negatively correlated with systolic blood pressure; any apparent association between intraocular pressure and age was fully accounted for through the correlation between systolic blood pressure and age.
研究人员尝试探讨年龄、眼压与收缩压之间的关联。对90名非青光眼性眼压正常患者以及142名高眼压患者的眼睛进行了检查。通过分层从这两组中形成了第三组，以反映普通人群中的眼压分布情况。在所有三组中，收缩压与年龄呈正相关。在分层组中，“链式”模型与数据相符。眼压与收缩压呈显著负相关；眼压与年龄之间的任何明显关联都完全可以通过收缩压与年龄之间的相关性来解释。
