DESIGN: Population-based cross-sectional study. Age-related cataract was defined as any type of lens opacity (ie, nuclear, cortical, and posterior subcapsular opacity) with a Lens Opacities Classification System III grade of more than 2 in one or both eyes. Weight and height were measured by intensively trained interviewers. RESULTS: A total of 2045 subjects 65 years and older in Shihpai, Taipei, were invited to participate, and 1361 (66.6%) completed the survey. Of the subjects, 806 were diagnosed as having age-related cataracts. With a BMI of less than 21.3 as a reference point (odds ratio [OR], 1.00), a U-shaped relationship between BMI and nuclear opacity was demonstrated. A reverse U-shaped relationship was shown for cortical opacity. In the final multiple logistic regression models, BMI and BMI(2) were significantly related to nuclear opacity (BMI data: OR, 0.73 [95% confidence interval {CI}, 0.54-0.98]; and BMI(2) data: OR, 1.01 [95% CI, 1.00-1.01]) and cortical opacity (BMI data: OR, 1.52 [95% CI, 1.04-2.34]; and BMI(2) data: OR, 0.99 [95% CI, 0.98-0.99]). Neither BMI nor BMI(2) was related to posterior subcapsular opacity. CONCLUSION: Body mass index is an independent risk factor for nuclear and cortical opacities, but in reverse direction to each other. ------>tmu_sno=None ------>sno=16879 ------>authors2=WM Hsu ------>authors3=SY Tsai ------>authors4=P Chou ------>authors5= ------>authors6= ------>authors6_c= ------>authors=TM Kuang ------>delete_flag=0 ------>SCI_JNo=None ------>authors2_c= ------>publish_area=0 ------>updateTitle=Body mass index and age-related cataract: the Shihpai Eye Study. ------>language=2 ------>check_flag=None ------>submit_date=None ------>country=None ------>no=8 ------>patent_SDate=None ------>update_bywho=None ------>publish_year=2005 ------>submit_flag=None ------>publish_month=1 |
