Longitudinal records of 559 myopes were obtained from five optometric practices. A linear regression model was used to describe various parameters of myopia progression, including onset age, rates, and cessation age of childhood progression. Typical rates of childhood myopia increases are around 0.4 D/yr, although there is considerable individual variability. An earlier onset is correlated with the development of a higher final amount of myopia. The earlier cessation age of childhood myopia progression in females than in males is hypothesized to be related to growth factors.
从五家验光诊所获取了559名近视患者的纵向记录。采用线性回归模型来描述近视进展的各种参数，包括发病年龄、进展速率以及儿童期进展的停止年龄。儿童期近视增加的典型速率约为每年0.4D，尽管个体差异很大。发病较早与最终较高的近视度数发展相关。据推测，女性儿童期近视进展的停止年龄比男性早与生长因子有关。
