Abstract

: Glaucoma can have profound consequences on vision. Although diabetes and hypertension have been suggested as risk factors for glaucoma, their relevance in epidemiological studies remains controversial. Accordingly, we investigated whether diabetes and hypertension, as well as factors such as age and sex, affected the risk of glaucoma. From May 30, 2022, to June 24, 2022, 1152 patients were selected from a national hospital (Seoul, Korea) to analyze the association among visual field test results, diabetes, and hypertension. Patients who visited the hospital for glaucoma treatment or those referred for glaucoma were randomly selected. The mean deviation value, obtained from visual field test results, is an index of the overall change in the visual field. Based on the mean deviation value, patients with glaucoma were classified into early- (-6

首尔国立医院青光眼与糖尿病和高血压患病率的年龄相关性研究

青光眼会对视力造成严重的影响。虽然糖尿病和高血压被认为是青光眼的危险因素，但它们在流行病学研究中的相关性仍然存在争议。因此，我们调查了糖尿病和高血压，以及年龄和性别等因素是否影响青光眼的风险。从2022年5月30日至2022年6月24日，从韩国首尔的一家国立医院选择了1152名患者，分析了视野检查结果与糖尿病和高血压之间的关系。随机选择到医院接受青光眼治疗或转诊的青光眼患者。从视野测试结果中得到的平均偏差值是反映视野整体变化的指标。根据平均偏差值将青光眼患者分为早期(-6
