Methods: A review of published data with use of prevalence models. Data from population based studies of age specific prevalence of OAG and ACG that satisfied standard definitions were used to construct prevalence models for OAG and ACG by age,sex,and ethnicity,weighting data proportional to sample size of each study. Models were combined with UN world population projections for 2010 and 2020 to derive the estimated number with glaucoma. Results: There will be 60.5million people with OAG and ACG in 2010,increasing to 79.6million by 2020,and of these,74% will have OAG. Women will comprise 55% of OAG,70% of ACG,and 59% of all glaucoma in 2010. Asians will represent 47% of those with glaucoma and 87% of those with ACG. Bilateral blindness will be present in 4.5 million people with OAG and 3.9 million people with ACG in 2010,rising to 5.9 and 5.3 million people in 2020,respectively. Conclusions: Glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness worldwide,disproportionately affecting women and Asians.展开更多

文摘1型糖尿病曾被称为＂胰岛素依赖型糖尿病＂、＂青少年起病的糖尿病＂、＂自身免疫性糖尿病＂等,这些名称反映了该病的一些临床特征.时至1997和1998年,美国糖尿病学会（American Diabetes Association,ADA）[1]和世界卫生组织（world health organization,WHO）[2]先后建议以＂1型糖尿病＂正式命名该病并逐渐被世界各国广泛接受.然而,由于1型糖尿病具有广泛的异质性（包括种族差异）,现行各大指南、共识声明均未提出过明确的1型糖尿病诊断或分型标准.
