| Popis: | Despite a suffi cient number of scientifi c studies devoted to the study of myopia risk factors, the infl uence of obesity on the degree of myopia risk in childhood has not been suffi ciently studied, which prompted us to study this issue using children as an example. The aim is to study the frequency and degree of myopia risk in overweight and obese children. Material and Methods. The sample of children for the study was formed step by step in the process of randomization. The fi rst stage included a one-time epidemiological study of children aged 10-18 years during preventive examinations in schools of Chernivtsi and Chernivtsi region (1,035 persons). The primary screening included anthropometry and assessment of physical development. For detailed examination 205 persons were selected: with overweight (OW, 65 persons), with obesity (75 persons) and with normal body weight (65 persons, comparison group). The ophthalmologic examination included: visometry without and with correction, autorefractokeratometry before and after cycloplegia, biomicroscopy, ophthalmoscopy, optical biometry of the eye. To reveal the statistical diff erence between indicators in normally distributed groups, the Student’s t criterion of reliability was used, the degree of signifi cance – r. Comparison of groups on a qualitative basis was performed using Pearson’s χ2 test. Diff erences were considered statistically signifi cant at p |
