Factors Related to the 4-Year Risk of High Intraocular Pressure

Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the 4-year risk of high intraocular pressure (IOP) and associated factors in a black population without glaucoma at baseline.

Six-year incidence of ocular hypertension in a South Indian population: the Chennai eye disease incidence study

“…Gender was not associated with incident OHT in our study, similar to most other incidence studies 7 10 11. In BISED II, however, men were found to have a larger (p=0.04) mean increase in IOP (0.52 mm Hg) than women (0.21 mm Hg) 17.…”

“…At the 4 year follow-up and the 9 year follow-up, BISED showed no association of BMI with IOP changes which is similar to our results but in contrast with two large Japanese studies which showed a positive association 11 16–19. Possible explanations on differences in ethnicity and/or baseline differences in BMI between subject groups could account for observed effects 16…”

“…Increasing age was noted to be a consistent risk factor in our study similar to LALES and BISED 10 11 17. We found the odds for incident OHT at 50–59 years to be nearly double (p=0.03) and ≥70 years to be 3.5 times (p=0.02) with 40–49 years as reference.…”

“…These may partly be affected by participation rates which in turn may be affected by systemic illnesses. Non-participants in our study were more likely to have diabetes and hypertension, similar to other studies;10 11 17 this may affect true incidence due to the reported association with long-term changes in IOP 10. Thus, a significant proportion of the normal population converted to OHT at 6 years.…”

Intraocular Pressure and Its Determinants in Subjects With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in India

“…The mean IOP among diabetics in our study was lower than other studies [2,8,9]. When compared to other races, the IOP in the Asian ethnicity is lower [7,10].…”
