为了评估近视的社会人口学因素和韩国儿童近视的护理，我们收集了8，633名儿童的数据，这些儿童完成了第三次韩国国民健康和营养检查调查的健康访谈调查部分。我们评估了19岁以下受试者眼部问题的患病率。通过多元逻辑回归分析确定了影响近视和近视护理的社会人口因素。韩国儿童近视的患病率为22.6%。结果表明，年龄增长与近视之间存在显著关联。近视患病率与收入水平有关。居住在父母拥有的家中或城市地区的参与者以及残疾人更有可能患有近视。在近视护理方面，年龄和家庭月收入是重要因素。随着儿童年龄的增长，需要开展公共教育和战略，如国家视力筛查计划，以提供适当的视力护理，并需要在帮助残疾人进行视力护理方面做出更多努力。
To evaluate the sociodemographic factors of myopia and the care of myopia in Korean children.We acquired data from 8,633 children who had completed the Health Interview Survey portion of the third Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. We assessed the prevalence of eye problems in subjects younger than 19. Sociodemographic factors that affect myopia and myopia care were identified by multivariate logistic regression analysis.The prevalence of child myopia in Korea was 22.6%. The results indicated a significant association between increasing age and myopia. There was a relation between the prevalence of myopia and income level. Participants living in homes owned by their parents or in urban areas as well as those with disabilities were more likely to have myopia. In terms of myopia care, age and monthly household income were significant factors.Public education and strategies such as a national vision screening programs are needed for appropriate vision care as children get older, and more effort needs to be made in assisting disabled persons with vision care.
