在1973-1975年期间,马萨诸塞州[美国]弗拉肯研究人群的3977名仍然健在的成员中有2675人从1948年开始接受冠状动脉疾病危险因素的调查,他们在1973-1975年年龄在52-85岁之间,接受了眼检查,重点是白内障、糖尿病视网膜病变、黄斑变性和青光眼。在2940名仍然居住在当地的弗拉季翁地区的受试者中,有2477人接受了检查。当地人群单眼或双眼阳性的患病率为:老年性白内障15.5%,糖尿病视网膜病变3.1%,老年性黄斑变性8.8%,开角型青光眼3.3%。最佳视力差的成年人比例可能远低于全国健康调查的估计值,而开角型青光眼的比例则远高于目前根据国外研究推测的比例。
During the period 1973-1975, 2675 out of 3977 still-living members of the Framingham, Massachusetts [USA], study population, who were under investigation for coronary disease risk factors since 1948 and who were, in 1973-1975, aged 52-85, were given an eye examination stressing cataract, diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration and glaucoma. Of 2940 subjects who still lived in the local Framingham area, 2477 were examined. Local population prevalence for 1 or both eyes positive was: 15.5% for senile cataract, 3.1% for diabetic retinopathy, 8.8% for senile macular degeneration and 3.3% for open-angle glaucoma. The proportion of adults with poor best visual acuity may be much less than was estimated by the National Health Survey and the proportion with open-angle glaucoma much more than currently suspected on the basis of foreign studies.
