摘要
肥胖是全球范围内的重大公共卫生问题，在许多国家患病率以惊人的速度增长。肥胖被认为是许多眼病重要的危险因素，尤其是年龄相关的眼病如白内障、青光眼、年龄相关性黄斑病变、糖尿病性视网膜病变等。随着全球老龄化加剧，肥胖引起的眼病增加，对社会及家庭的各种负担也会加剧，因此强调防止肥胖至关重要。目前尚缺少肥胖与眼病相关性的病理生理学机制明确的解释，因此是亟需研究的重要课题。
Globally, obesity is a major public health problem, with prevalence increasing at stagger- ing rates in many countries. Obesity has been recognized as a significant risk factor for many eye diseases, especially the age related eye diseases, such as cataract, glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy. As global aging intensifies, eye disease associated with obesity also increases, and vari- ous burdens on society and family will be increased dramatically. Therefore, we emphasized that it is essen- tial to prevent obesity. On account of a clear pathophysiological mechanisms explanation for the association of obesity with eye diseases is currently lacking, therefore, this is a very problem to be resolved in the future.
