紫外线暴露评价方法与白内障流行病学研究进展

Research Progress of Ultraviolet exposure Evaluation method and Cataract Epidemiology

臭氧层空洞引起地表紫外辐射增强的现象已经引起广泛关注。白内障是导致失明的主要疾病之一,严重影响人们生活质量。目前紫外线暴露评价研究包括环境辐射、个体暴露和眼部暴露三个层面,紫外线致白内障的流行病学研究主要关注的是白内障发病率与环境紫外辐射量而非与眼部紫外线暴露量之间的关系。本文拟对紫外线暴露评价方法和紫外线致白内障流行病学调查这两个方面进行综述。

The phenomenon that the ozone layer cavity causes the enhancement of surface ultraviolet radiation has attracted wide attention. Cataract is one of the main diseases leading to blindness,which seriously affects people’s quality of life. At present,UV exposure assessment studies include three levels: environmental radiation,individual exposure and ocular exposure. Epidemiological study focus on the relationship between the incidence of cataract and environmental ultraviolet radiation rather than ocular ultraviolet exposure. This paper will make a brief review on the UV exposure assessment methods and UVinduced cataract epidemiological investigations in these two aspects.
