As its name implies, senile cataract is age-related. A survey of 9 studies indicates to what extent the epidemiology of senile cataract can be represented by Gompertz plots. These are shown to be suitable separately for men and women and to enable one to distinguish between inborn and environmental influences. Further support is obtained for the view that myopia and cataract may be linked, and attention is drawn to the potentially noxious effect of (ultraviolet) light.
顾名思义，老年性白内障与年龄相关。一项对9项研究的调查表明，老年性白内障的流行病学在多大程度上可以用冈珀茨曲线来表示。结果显示，这些曲线分别适用于男性和女性，并且能够区分先天因素和环境因素的影响。近视与白内障可能有关这一观点得到了进一步支持，同时也提请人们注意（紫外线）光的潜在有害影响。
