Ophthalmological examination was made for 447 hypercholesterolemic middle-aged Eastern Finnish men participating in the Kuopio Atherosclerosis Prevention Study (KAPS) in order to evaluate the prevalence of corneal arcus, its risk factors, and possible association with atherosclerosis. The degree of atherosclerosis was assessed by ultrasonographic examination of carotid and femoral arteries. Corneal arcus in either eye was observed in 51.4% of the participants. Old age and high LDL cholesterol concentration were associated with the presence of corneal arcus. Corneal arcus had a close relationship with ultrasonographically assessed atherosclerosis.
对参加库奥皮奥动脉粥样硬化预防研究（KAPS）的447名患有高胆固醇血症的芬兰东部中年男性进行了眼科检查，以评估角膜弓的患病率、其危险因素以及与动脉粥样硬化的可能关联。通过对颈动脉和股动脉进行超声检查来评估动脉粥样硬化的程度。在51.4%的参与者中观察到一只眼睛或两只眼睛出现角膜弓。高龄和高LDL胆固醇浓度与角膜弓的存在相关。角膜弓与超声评估的动脉粥样硬化密切相关。
