Prevalence and Characteristics of Myopic Retinopathy in a Rural Chinese Adult Population

Prevalence and risk factors of myopic maculopathy: a cross-sectional study in Han and Uygur adults in Xinjiang, China

“…In the present study, no gender difference was noted in the prevalence of myopic maculopathy, which agrees with result of the Yangxi Eye Study, 18 Shihpai Eye Study, 12 Handan Eye Study, 17 BES 15 and BMES. 8 A high prevalence of myopic maculopathy was reported in CIEMS, with a 257-fold increased risk observed in women.…”

“…However, in the multivariate analysis, no significant association was observed between myopic maculopathy and the level of education nor between myopic maculopathy and urbanisation. This phenomenon may due to the effects of urbanisation and education; such effects In the present study, no gender difference was noted in the prevalence of myopic maculopathy, which agrees with result of the Yangxi Eye Study, 18 Shihpai Eye Study, 12 Handan Eye Study, 17 BES 15 and BMES. 8 A high prevalence of myopic maculopathy was reported in CIEMS, with a Open access 257-fold increased risk observed in women.…”

Prevalence and associated health and lifestyle factors of myopic maculopathy in northern China: the Kailuan eye study

“…Increasing AL was associated with a higher prevalence of myopic maculopathy in our study, with an OR of 4.517 comparing eyes with AL 26.5 mm or more compared with less than 26.5 mm. Our results mirrored other studies reporting an increase of MM with longer AL in a dose–response manner [ 9 – 11 , 13 , 15 , 31 ]. Axial myopia is consistently held responsible for the development of myopic maculopathy [ 32 ].…”

Prevalence of posterior staphyloma and factors associated with its shape in the Japanese population

“…Our finding of no difference in the prevalence of staphyloma between men and women is in agreement with previous reports. The prevalence of posterior staphyloma in our study (2.05%) is slightly higher than the reports of 1.6% in the Beijing Eye Study 23 , 0.8% in the Handan Eye Study 22 , and 0.7% in the Blue Mountains Eye Study 21 . The difference could be explained by differences in the methodologies used to detect posterior staphyloma and by the prevalence of high myopia in the study cohorts.…”
