To provide a reference for the prevention and control of myopia by analyzing and discussing the findings of an epidemiological survey of the prevalence of myopia among children and adolescents in Fuzhou City from 2019 to 2021.
Participants for this cross-sectional study were drawn from Gulou District and Minqing County in Fuzhou City using cluster random sampling to account for differences in population density, economic development, and other environmental variables.
Myopia was more prevalent in 2020 than in 2019, but by 2021 it had dropped to about the same level as in 2019. Myopia was more prevalent among girls than boys during the course of the study period, with a three-year prevalence of 44.72% for boys and 52.16% for girls. Mild myopia accounted for 24.14% of all cases, followed by moderate myopia at 19.62%, and severe myopia at 4.58%. Students in urban regions had a prevalence of myopia equivalent to that of students in the suburbs, and this prevalence rose with age.
Myopia was quite prevalent among children and adolescents in Fuzhou City, and was shown to be steadily rising as students progressed through the school system. This suggests that all levels of government, educational institutions, medical facilities, and concerned parents in Fujian Province should focus on the issue of myopia and collaborate to reduce the risk factors for the development of myopia in school-aged participants.
通过分析和讨论2019年至2021年福州市儿童青少年近视患病率的流行病学调查结果，为近视防控提供参考。
本横断面研究的参与者采用整群随机抽样的方法，从福州市鼓楼区和闽清县选取，以考虑人口密度、经济发展和其他环境变量的差异。
2020年近视患病率高于2019年，但到2021年已降至与2019年大致相同的水平。在研究期间，女孩的近视患病率高于男孩，男孩三年患病率为44.72%，女孩为52.16%。轻度近视占所有病例的24.14%，其次是中度近视，占19.62%，重度近视占4.58%。城区学生的近视患病率与郊区学生相当，且患病率随年龄增长而上升。
福州市儿童青少年近视相当普遍，且随着学生在学校系统中的升学而呈稳步上升趋势。这表明福建省各级政府、教育机构、医疗机构以及相关家长应关注近视问题，并共同协作降低学龄参与者近视发生的风险因素。
