This study evaluated the association between intraocular pressure and various sociodemographic characteristics, ocular findings, and cardiovascular risk factors in a population screened for glaucoma. A total of 2594 subjects older than 40 years residing in three urban areas of southern Israel participated. Of those screened 6.1% had a raised intraocular pressure (IOP greater than or equal to 21). The mean IOP increased with age, was higher among persons born in Africa or Asia than those born in Europe or America, higher among myopes than hypermetropes and among those with an enlarged cup-disc ratio (CDR). Analysis of variance tests indicated that refractive status, CDR, age, country of birth, and diabetes were each independently associated with IOP. In addition, associations between raised intraocular pressure and age, country of birth, myopia, CDR, diabetes, and glaucoma in the family were found.
本研究评估了在青光眼筛查人群中眼压与各种社会人口学特征、眼部检查结果以及心血管危险因素之间的关联。共有2594名居住在以色列南部三个城市地区、年龄超过40岁的受试者参与。在接受筛查的人群中，6.1%的人眼压升高（眼压大于或等于21）。平均眼压随年龄增长而升高，出生于非洲或亚洲的人高于出生于欧洲或美洲的人，近视者高于远视者，杯盘比（CDR）增大者眼压也较高。方差分析表明，屈光状态、CDR、年龄、出生国家和糖尿病各自均与眼压独立相关。此外，还发现眼压升高与年龄、出生国家、近视、CDR、糖尿病以及家族性青光眼之间存在关联。
