The association of various personal, occupational, and environmental factors with cataracts and pseudoexfoliation of the lens (PXF) was examined in a group of Australian Aborigines. Cataracts occurred more commonly in the elderly but were also associated with high levels of ultraviolet radiation and sunlight and were more commonly seen in lower latitudes. PXF was also seen more commonly in the elderly, especially among males. PXF occurred particularly commonly in stockmen and was related to latitude and global radiation. It was positively associated with the occurrence of cataract and with climatic droplet keratopathy. It is suggested that senile cataracts are related to the amount of ultraviolet radiation and PXF to global radiation.
在一组澳大利亚原住民中,研究了各种个人、职业和环境因素与白内障及晶状体假性剥脱(PXF)之间的关联。白内障在老年人中更为常见,但也与高水平的紫外线辐射和阳光有关,且在低纬度地区更为常见。PXF在老年人中也较为常见,尤其是男性。PXF在牧场工人中尤为常见,且与纬度和全球辐射有关。它与白内障的发生以及气候性小滴状角膜病变呈正相关。提示老年性白内障与紫外线辐射量有关,而PXF与全球辐射有关。
