To retrospectively identify the factors associated with eye disorders and diseases.
The retrospective study was carried out in Bursa Uludag University Family Health Center in Turkey between 1-30 September 2023. The data of individuals who were registered with the Family Health Center and whose eye disorders and diseases were known were evaluated retrospectively. Eye disorders and diseases, sociodemographic findings, existing diseases, allergies, cancer, genetic disease conditions, and steroid use were obtained.
Around 3658 people; 1849 males (50.5%) and 1809 females (49.5%) participated in the study. The mean age of the individuals was 26.98±10.22 years. It was determined that 1594 (43.6%) of the participants had at least one eye disorder and/or disease and 1511 (41.3%) wore glasses and/or contact lenses. In 1594 (43.6%) patients with eye disorders or diseases, 41% had refractive disorders. It was determined that the rate of eye diseases is higher in women, smokers, and obese people, those with a family history of eye diseases, those with allergic and chronic diseases, those with genetic diseases, and those who use steroids (p=0.04).
It is noteworthy in terms of eye health that nearly half of the participants have at least one eye disorder and/or disease, and nearly half of them use glasses and/or contact lenses. It is also important that eye disorders and diseases are seen more together with smoking, obesity, allergies, genetic and chronic diseases, and steroid use. We emphasize the holistic approach of family medicine and the importance of cooperation with other clinics in terms of eye health.
回顾性确定与眼部疾病相关的因素。
这项回顾性研究于2023年9月1日至30日在土耳其布尔萨乌鲁达大学家庭健康中心开展。对在家庭健康中心登记且已知患有眼部疾病的个体数据进行回顾性评估。获取了眼部疾病、社会人口学特征、现有疾病、过敏情况、癌症、遗传疾病状况以及类固醇使用情况等信息。
约3658人参与了研究，其中男性1849人（50.5%），女性1809人（49.5%）。个体的平均年龄为26.98±10.22岁。确定1594名（43.6%）参与者至少患有一种眼部疾病和/或障碍，1511名（41.3%）佩戴眼镜和/或隐形眼镜。在1594名（43.6%）患有眼部疾病或障碍的患者中，41%患有屈光不正。确定女性、吸烟者、肥胖者、有眼部疾病家族史者、患有过敏性和慢性疾病者、患有遗传疾病者以及使用类固醇者的眼部疾病发生率更高（p=0.04）。
值得注意的是，近一半的参与者至少患有一种眼部疾病和/或障碍，且其中近一半佩戴眼镜和/或隐形眼镜。同样重要的是，眼部疾病与吸烟、肥胖、过敏、遗传和慢性疾病以及类固醇使用同时出现的情况更为常见。我们强调家庭医学的整体方法以及在眼部健康方面与其他诊所合作的重要性。
