眼病中性别差异的研究进展

Research progress of gender difference in ophthalmic disorders

近年来,流行病学资料显示人群中同一眼病的发病率存在着显著的性别差异,可能与男女本身的生理结构、行为习惯、环境、遗传等因素有关,但具体机制尚不清楚,仍需进一步研究。本文就白内障、青光眼、神经性眼病、遗传性眼病等眼科常见病的流行病学特征及可能原因的研究进展作一综述。

There is the strong epidemiologic evidence of genderspecific difference for the incidence of the same ophthalmic disorder recently.Physiologic,behavioral,environmental and hereditary factors may contribute to these differences,but its pathogenesis is still unclear.This paper gives a brief review of research progress on epidemiologic feature and mechanism of the common ophthalmic disorders,including cataract,glaucoma,neuro-ophthalmologic disorders,and hereditary ocular disorders.
