The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between anthropometric measures and steep cornea.
Participants from the 1999 to 2008 US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey visual examination were included (20,165 subjects). Cases had a mean dioptric power, averaged across the meridians, ≥ 48.0 diopters (n = 171). Separate multivariable models assessed body mass index, height, and weight in relation to steep cornea. Analyses included both overall and sex-stratified populations.
A relationship between BMI and steep cornea in the overall population was not detected ( P for trend = 0.78). There was a strong inverse relationship between height (adjusted for weight) and steep cornea in the overall population ( P for trend <0.0001) and in women ( P for trend <0.0001). For every 1-inch increase in height, there was a 16% reduced odds of steep cornea in the overall population (OR, 0.84; 95% CI: 0.77-0.92). A relationship between weight and steep cornea was not detected in the overall population (P for trend = 0.79).
Greater height was associated with a lower risk of steep cornea.
本研究旨在确定人体测量学指标与陡角膜之间的关系。
纳入了 1999 年至 2008 年美国国家健康和营养调查视觉检查的参与者（20165 例）。病例组的平均屈光度在子午线平均值上≥48.0 屈光度（n=171）。分别采用多变量模型评估体重指数、身高和体重与陡角膜的关系。分析包括总体人群和性别分层人群。
在总体人群中，BMI 与陡角膜之间没有关系（趋势 P 值=0.78）。在总体人群（趋势 P 值<0.0001）和女性中（趋势 P 值<0.0001），身高（按体重校正）与陡角膜之间存在很强的负相关关系。在总体人群中，身高每增加 1 英寸，陡角膜的可能性就会降低 16%（OR，0.84；95%CI：0.77-0.92）。在总体人群中，体重与陡角膜之间没有关系（趋势 P 值=0.79）。
较高的身高与较低的陡角膜风险相关。
