Abstract:
506 persons, over 45 years old, were observed; and 74 percent of them were found lens opacity. The proportion and degree of opacity were exacerbated with increased age. 51.6 percent of 375 persons with lens opacity had hyperlipemia while 18.3 percent of 131 persons with clear lens also had it. And hypertriglyceridemia was the major manifestation of hyperlipemia. It is suggested that hypertriglycendemia has a close relationship to cataract formation.
