Purpose:
|
To determine the distribution of intraocular pressure (IOP) and its determinants in an Iranian population
|
|
Methods:
|
In a cross-sectional survey, random cluster sampling was conducted from the 40-64 year old population of Shahroud, in the north of Iran. All participants had optometry and ophthalmic exams. IOP was determined using the Goldmann tonometry method and biometric components were measured
|
|
Results:
|
Of the 6,311 people selected for the study, 5,190 (82.2%) participated. The mean age of the participants was 50.89±6.24 years and 57.5% of them were female. Mean IOP was 12.87±2.27 mmHg. In this study 0.3% of the participants had an IOP higher than 21 mmHg. The multiple linear regression model revealed that female sex (Coef=0.26; 95% CI: 0.13 to 0.39), diabetes (Coef=0.43; 95% CI: 0.19 to 0.67), high systolic blood pressure (Coef=0.43; 95% CI: 0.01 to 0.02), high body mass index (Coef=0.03; 95% CI: 0.02 to 0.04), higher education (Coef=0.02, 95% CI: 0.01 to 0.04), thicker central corneal thickness (Coef=0.01; 95% CI: 0.01 to 0.02), and myopic shift spherical equivalent (Coef=0.14; 95% CI: 0.10 to 0.18) significantly correlated with high IOP
|
|
Conclusion:
|
The IOP in this 40-64 year old population was low overall. In the north of Iran, average IOP statistically significantly correlated with female sex, diabetes, higher BMI, systolic blood pressure, higher education, thicker cornea, and myopic refractive error
