OBJECTIVE
To identify possible risk factors for open-angle glaucoma (OAG) among 260 black subjects in Kinshasa (Congo).
METHODS
Between May 14, 1996 and June 14, 1996, 260 persons, aged 24-60 years old, working at a factory in Kinshasa, have been examined. Twenty-two patients with OAG and 238 controls were identified. Data were obtained through interviews and clinical examinations. OAG was defined by the presence of both optic disc damage and characteristic visual field defects.
RESULTS
The frequency of OAG was 8.5%. Associations were found with intraocular pressure greater than 21 mmHg (Odds ratio (OR) = 119.4, 95% confidence interval (CI), 17.62 to 4960.64), current cigarette smoking (OR = 2.77, 95% CI, 1.04 to 7.34) and Mongo ethnic subgroup (OR = 3.195, 95% CI, 0.93 to 9.57).
CONCLUSION
Mongo ethnic subgroup seemed to be another risk factor for OAG in Congo.
目的
在金沙萨（刚果）的260名黑人受试者中确定开角型青光眼（OAG）的可能危险因素。
方法
在1996年5月14日至1996年6月14日期间，对金沙萨一家工厂的260名年龄在24至60岁之间的人员进行了检查。确定了22例开角型青光眼患者和238名对照者。数据通过访谈和临床检查获得。开角型青光眼的定义为存在视盘损害和特征性视野缺损。
结果
开角型青光眼的发生率为8.5%。发现与眼压高于21 mmHg（比值比（OR）= 119.4，95%置信区间（CI），17.62至4960.64）、当前吸烟（OR = 2.77，95% CI，1.04至7.34）以及Mongo族裔亚组（OR = 3.195，95% CI，0.93至9.57）有关。
结论
在刚果，Mongo族裔亚组似乎是开角型青光眼的另一个危险因素。
