Abstract:
ObjectiveTo explore and analyze the influencing factors of myopia among the primary and middle school students, and to provide an evidence for the prevention and control of myopia in students through the combination of scientific use in electronic products and adherence improvement to outdoor activities. MethodsStratified cluster sampling method was used to select 4 schools in Jiading District, in which all the students in grades 3‒5 of primary school and grades 7‒9 of middle school were enrolled into the study for a questionnaire survey and refraction examination. The χ2 test was used to compare the data between the myopic and non-myopic group. Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors of myopia. ResultsThe total myopia detection rate among the primary and middle school students in the industrial zone of Jiading District was 62.8%, with a detection rate of 46.9% for primary school students and 75.6% for middle school students, respectively. Logistic regression analysis showed that middle school (OR=3.639, 95%CI=3.045‒4.349, P<0.001), female students (OR=1.278, 95%CI=1.081‒1.510, P=0.004), the frequency of school desks and chairs was adjusted>1 semester (OR=1.227, 95%CI=1.031‒1.461, P=0.021), the length of time spent on extracurricular tutorial classes for main courses ≥1 hour in a week (OR=1.205,95%CI=1.009‒1.440, P=0.040), parents reduced the length of time that their children spent on exercise (OR=1.205, 95%CI=1.009‒1.440, P=0.040), and parental myopia (OR=2.611, 95%CI=2.157‒3.160, P<0.001) were associated with myopia among the primary and middle school students in the industrial zone of Jiading District. ConclusionThe detection rate of myopia among students in Jiading District was relatively high. More attention should be paid to the effect of school desks and chairs’ adjustment frequency, the length of time spent on extracurricular tutorial classes for main courses, electronic screen exposure time on students’ vision, so as to prevent and slow down the occurrence and development of myopia.
