目的：调查台湾兰屿陶部落中老年原住民翼状胬肉的发病情况。材料和方法：随机抽取40岁及以上居民用裂隙灯进行检查。结果：本次调查共有249人参与，其中男性101人，女性148人。他们的年龄从40岁到87岁不等。总人口平均年龄为58.54岁(标准差，SD±12.95)，男性60.09岁(SD±12.99)，女性57.49岁(SD±12.86)。在调查人群中，翼状胬肉的总患病率为53.01%(132/249)(95%CI：39.18%~66.84%)，且随年龄增长而增加。132例患者中共有257例翼状胬肉。翼状胬肉平均每人1.0 3例(2 5 7/2 49)，且随年龄增加而增加，中年组(40~)0.79(12 6/16 0)，老年组(65岁及以上)1.4 7(131/)。性别间无显著差异。翼状胬肉主要发生在眼表的鼻侧。结论：兰屿桃族中老年人群翼状胬肉患病率较高(53.01%)，可能与纬度、紫外线照射及生活方式有关。
Objective: To survey the incidence of pterygium among middle-aged and elderly aborigines of the Tao tribe of Orchid Island, Taiwan. Materials and Methods: Inhabitants aged 40 years and above were examined with a slit-lamp at random selection. Results: A total of 249 participants were enrolled into this survey, including 101 men and 148 women. Their ages ranged from 40 to 87 years. The mean age of the total population was 58.54 years (standard deviation, SD±12.95); 60.09 years in the men (SD±12.99) and 57.49 years in the women (SD±12.86). Of the population surveyed, the total prevalence rate of pterygium was 53.01% (132/249) (95%CI: 39.18%-66.84%), which increased with age. There was a total of 257 pterygia among the 132 patients. The average number of pterygia per person was 1.03(257/249) and this increased with age; varying from 0.79 (126/160) among the middle- aged group (40 to 64 years old) to 1.47 (131/89) in the elderly group (65 years old and above). There was no significant difference between genders. Pterygium occurred with predominance on the nasal side of the ocular surface. Conclusions: The high prevalence of pterygium (53.01%) among the middle-aged and elderly population of the Tao tribe in Orchid Island may be related to the latitude, ultraviolet exposure and lifestyle.
