Abstract

Background This study aimed to evaluate the degree of myopia and reduced physical activity in 3600 college students in China between 2018 and 2020. Material/Methods The study included 3600 participants (1742 men and 1858 women) aged 19 to 23 years from a Chinese college. The distribution of the levels of eyesight associated with physical exercise was assessed using the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study chart measurement method. Results The rates of myopia of students enrolled students in 2018, 2019, and 2020 were 84.31%, 87.22%, and 89.17%, respectively, which showed an increasing trend (P<0.01). For the students starting in 2018, the rate of myopia showed an upward trend in their 3 years of college (P<0.01). The incidence of myopia was significantly different during the academic year between students who participated and did not participate in sports clubs (P<0.01). Conclusions The findings from this study showed that between 2018 and 2020 there was a high prevalence of myopia in college students in China, which increased annually and was associated with reduced physical activity while at college. These findings may have public health implications for improving physical activity in this population. Physical exercise could effectively prevent the occurrence of myopia, improve the visual status of students, and alleviate the decline of vision.

3600名中国大学生近视程度与体育活动减少

本研究旨在评估2018年至2020年中国3600名大学生的近视程度和体育活动减少情况。材料/方法本研究包括3600名参与者(1742名男性和1858名女性)，年龄19至23岁，来自一所中国大学。使用糖尿病视网膜病变早期治疗研究图表测量方法评估与体育锻炼相关的视力水平分布。结果2018年、2019年和2020年入学学生近视率分别为84.31%、87.22%和89.17%，呈上升趋势(P<0.01)。2018年入学的大学生，近3年近视率呈上升趋势(P<0.01)。参加和未参加体育俱乐部的学生在学年期间的近视发生率有显著差异(P<0.01)。该研究的结果表明，2018年至2020年期间，中国大学生的近视患病率很高，且每年都在增加，这与大学期间体育活动减少有关。这些发现可能对改善这一人群的体育活动具有公共卫生意义。体育锻炼可以有效预防近视的发生，改善学生视力状况，缓解视力下降。

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.
