Abstract

Purpose

To investigate the prevalence and body mass index (BMI) associations of congenital lower epiblepharon in children in China and the difference in the refractive errors between children with and without epiblepharon.

Methods

Children 6-12 years of age in Beichen District of Tianjin were screened for congenital epiblepharon from September to October 2017. All children underwent slit-lamp examination, strabismus screening, visual acuity examination and refraction. Weight and height were also recorded. The prevalence of lower epiblepharon in school-age children was evaluated, and its association with age, sex, BMI, and refractive error was analyzed.

Results

A total of 28,225 children were examined; 564 had epiblepharon. The prevalence of epiblepharon was found to be, for 6-year-olds, 2.50%; for 7-year-olds, 2.13%; for 8-year-olds, 2.10%; for 9-year-olds, 1.97%; for 10-year-olds, 1.85%; for 11-year-olds, 1.67%; and for 12-year-olds, 1.19% (P < 0.05). The prevalence of overweight and obesity in children with epiblepharon was found to be 16.7% and 47.2%, respectively. The prevalence and degree of astigmatism was higher than in nonepiblepharon children. We found a possible association between severity of astigmatism and severity of epiblepharon.

Conclusions

In our study, the prevalence of epiblepharon decreased with advancing age, and the majority of children with epiblepharon were found to be overweight or obese. Epiblepharon was associated with astigmatism.

中国学龄儿童先天性会厌炎：一项横断面研究

目的探讨中国儿童先天性下睑外翻的患病率和体重指数（BMI）相关性，以及有外翻儿童和无外翻儿童屈光不正的差异。方法于2017年9月至10月对天津市北辰区6-12岁儿童进行先天性下睑外翻筛查。所有儿童均接受了裂隙灯检查、斜视筛查、视力检查和屈光检查。同时还记录了体重和身高。评估了学龄儿童下眼睑外翻的患病率，并分析了其与年龄、性别、体重指数和屈光不正的关系。结果发现，6 岁儿童的睑外翻发生率为 2.50%；7 岁儿童为 2.13%；8 岁儿童为 2.10%；9 岁儿童为 1.97%；10 岁儿童为 1.85%；11 岁儿童为 1.67%；12 岁儿童为 1.19%（P < 0.05）。在患有眼睑外翻的儿童中，超重和肥胖的发生率分别为 16.7% 和 47.2%。散光的发生率和散光的程度均高于非睑外翻患儿。结论在我们的研究中，随着年龄的增长，眼睑外翻的患病率有所下降，大多数眼睑外翻的儿童都超重或肥胖。眼睑外翻与散光有关。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
