Risk factors for myopia and high myopia were identified using multivariable logistic regression models. Results 3845 participants were included. The overall adjusted prevalence of myopia (spherical equivalent (SE)+0.5D) were 16.4%, 0.7% and 26.2% in Yugur, and 34.3%, 5.0% and 19.2% in Han. In the multivariable logistic regression model, Han ethnicity (Odds Ratio(OR),0.56; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.45-0.69), P |
