The understanding of diurnal variations of UV radiation at anatomical sites may be helpful in developing ways to protect humans from the harmful effects of UV radiation. Methods In order to characterize the diurnal variations, the UV exposure values were measured at 30 min intervals by using Solar-UV Sensors and a rotating manikin in Shenyang city of China (41°51'N, 123°27%). Measurement data for four representative days (in each of the four seasons respectively) were analyzed. Results The diurnal variations in solar UV radiation at the shoulder, the forehead and the chest were similar to those associated with a horizontal control measurement. However, the diurnal variations at the eye and the cheek exhibited bimodal distributions with two peaks in spring, summer and autumn, and a unimodal distribution in winter. The UV exposure peaks at the eye and the cheek were measured at solar elevation angles (SEA) of about 30° and 40°, respectively. Conclusion The protection of some anatomical sites such as the eye from high UV exposure should not be focused solely on the periods before and after noon, especially in the places and seasons with high SEA.展开更多

Altitude: 3658 m) and Shaoxing(Zhejiang Province, China. Altitude: 15 m) were underwent eye examinations and interviewed in this cross-sectional study. Participants' lens opacities were graded according to the Lens Opacities Classification System II(LOCS II) and the types of opacities with LOCS II scores ≥2 were determined. Univariate and stepwise logistic regression were used to evaluate the associations of independent risk factors with lens opacities.· RESULTS: Lens opacities were significantly more prevalent in the high-altitude than in the low-altitude area(χ2=10.54, P 〈0.001). Lens opacities appear to develop earlier in people living at high than at low altitude. The main types of lens opacity in Lhasa and Shaoxing were mixed(23.81%) and cortical(17.87%),respectively. Independent risk factors associated with all lens opacities were age, ultraviolet(UV) radiation exposure,and educational level. Compared with participants aged40-49 y, the risk of lens opacities increased gradually from 2 to 85 times per 10 y [odds ratio(OR)=2.168-84.731,P 〈0.05). The risk of lens opacities was about two times greater in participants with the highest UV exposure than in those with the lowest exposure(OR=2.606, P =0.001).Educational level was inversely associated with lensopacities; literacy deceased the risk by about 25%compared with illiteracy(OR=0.758, P =0.041).·CONCLUSION: Old age, higher UV exposure and lower educational level are important risk factors for the development of lens opacities. Lens opacities are more prevalent among high-altitude than low-altitude inhabitants.展开更多
