本研究的目的是确定日本福岛县40-74岁人群中翼状胬肉的患病率和危险因素。在南井津町和多达米町的4185名市民中，2312人（55.2%）同意在健康检查期间进行眼部检查。翼状胬肉的诊断是当观察到一个径向的纤维血管病变生长到角膜边缘进入角膜。有翼状胬肉切除史的眼睛也被诊断为翼状胬肉。调查翼状胬肉的患病率及相关因素。在2312名受试者中，101名（4.4%；95%可信区间为3.6-5.3%）至少1只眼睛患有翼状胬肉。受试者平均年龄（±SD）为64.3±8.0岁。性别、年龄、户外工作史和吸烟史均为可能的相关因素，但logistic回归分析发现只有年龄与翼状胬肉有显著相关。研究人群中翼状胬肉的患病率为4.4%。这种低比率可能是由于这些城镇的北纬。在本研究中，年龄与患翼状胬肉的风险相关，但性别和户外工作史与翼状胬肉的发病无关。
The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence and risk factors for pterygium in a population aged 40–74 years in Fukushima Prefecture, Japan. Of 4185 citizens of the towns of Minamiaizu-machi and Tadami-machi, 2312 (55.2%) gave consent to an ocular examination during a health examination. Pterygium was diagnosed when a radially oriented fibrovascular lesion growing over the limbus into the cornea was observed. Eyes with a history of pterygium excision were also diagnosed with pterygium. Prevalence and factors associated with pterygium were investigated. Of the 2312 subjects, 101 (4.4%; 95% confidence interval, 3.6–5.3%) had pterygium in at least 1 eye. The average age (±SD) of the subjects was 64.3 ± 8.0 years. Gender, age, outdoor job history and smoking history were examined as possible associated factors, but only age was found to be significantly associated with pterygium in logistic regression analysis. The prevalence of pterygium was 4.4% in the study population. This low rate may be due to the northern latitude of these towns. Age was associated with a risk of pterygium, but gender and outdoor job history were not associated with onset of pterygium in this study.
