Methods: The Handan Eye Study is a cross-sectional, population-based study of eye diseases among 6,830 (90.4% response rate) rural Chinese persons aged 30+ years. Participants underwent an interviewer-administered questionnaire and a complete ocular examination, including standardized measurement of IOP with Perkins applanation tonometry. Results: After excluding persons with glaucoma, or those with diseases that have a marked effect on IOP or that preclude accurate IOP measurement, 6,101 persons were included in the current analysis. Mean IOP (mean ± standard deviation) of the study population was 15.0 ± 2.8 mmHg. Men had lower IOP than women (14.6 ± 2.8 mmHg versus 15.4 ± 2.7 mmHg, t = -8.37, P | Source Title: | Ophthalmic Epidemiology | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/109421 | ISSN: | 09286586 | DOI: | 10.3109/09286586.2012.708084 |
