To determine associations between cataract types and pinguecula and pterygium.
The Blue Mountains Eye Study examined 3,654 persons aged 49 to 97 years near Sydney, Australia. A questionnaire was used to collect information on cataract risk factors. Slit-lamp examination recorded pinguecula and pterygium. Masked lens photograph grading assessed cataract.
Pinguecula, found in 2,418 right eyes and 2,437 left eyes, was statistically significantly associated with cortical cataract (odds ratio [OR] = 1.40) after multivariate adjustment. Pterygium, found in 199 right eyes and 188 left eyes, was associated with posterior subcapsular cataract (OR = 1.90).
Associations were found between cataract and the presence of either pinguecula or pterygium. These findings provide indirect support for Watermen Study findings, which link ultraviolet radiation to cataract.
确定白内障类型与睑裂斑和翼状胬肉之间的关联。
蓝山眼研究对澳大利亚悉尼附近3654名年龄在49至97岁的人进行了检查。使用问卷调查收集白内障危险因素的信息。裂隙灯检查记录睑裂斑和翼状胬肉。采用盲法晶状体照片分级评估白内障。
在2418只右眼和2437只左眼发现有睑裂斑，多因素调整后，睑裂斑与皮质性白内障有统计学显著关联（比值比[OR]=1.40）。在199只右眼和188只左眼发现有翼状胬肉，翼状胬肉与后囊下白内障有关联（OR=1.90）。
发现白内障与睑裂斑或翼状胬肉的存在之间有关联。这些发现为沃特曼研究的结果提供了间接支持，该研究将紫外线辐射与白内障联系起来。
