Abstrakt: Objective: A population-based study was conducted to compare the prevalence of congenital color vision deficiencies (CVD) in high-school students of Uygur and Han nationalities in Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region.
Methods: Students from 7 high schools were examined with pseudoisochromatic color plates and further with Farnsworth Munsell 100 test. The chi-square test was applied to compare categorical variables, and the independent-samples t test was used to compare the measure data.
Results: In the study population of 3764 Uygur students, 88 students had CVD, including 69 males and 19 females. 48 of 2055 Han students were diagnosed with CVD, including 46 males and 2 females. No significant difference existed in the prevalence of CVD in boys between two nationalities. The prevalence of CVD in Uygur girls was higher than that in Han girls.
Conclusions: No significant difference was found in the prevalence of CVD in boys between two nationalities. The prevalence of CVD in Uygur girls was higher than that in Han girls.
