The relationship of the intensity of lens opacity with physical activity.

Abstract

Tyrimo tikslas. Nustatyti lęšiuko drumstėjimo pobūdį, intensyvumą bei regėjimo aštrumą sergantiesiems katarakta ir kontroliniams asmenims, taip pat šių rodiklių ryšį su tiriamųjų fiziniu aktyvumu. Medžiaga ir metodai. Oftalmologiniai tyrimai atlikti Kauno medicinos universiteto klinikų Akių ligų klinikoje. Tirti sirgusieji katarakta (n=110), kurių amžiaus vidurkis 60,3±0,4 metų, kontrolinės grupės tiriamieji (n=50) gydyti Kauno medicinos universiteto klinikų Odos ir venerinių ligų klinikoje (amžiaus vidurkis – 59,8±0,4 metų). Lęšiuko drumstėjimas įvertintas remiantis LOCS III (angl. Lens Opacity Classification System III) klasifikacija. Regėjimo aštrumas ištirtas naudojant Snelleno lentelę. Tiriamojo fizinis aktyvumas metabolinio ekvivalento (MET)-minutėmis per savaitę nustatytas remiantis Tarptautiniu fizinio aktyvumo klausimynu. Rezultatai. Sergančiųjų katarakta lęšiukų drumstėjimo intensyvumo vidurkiai buvo statistiškai reikšmingai didesni, o regėjimo aštrumo ir fizinio aktyvumo vidurkiai mažesni nei kontrolinės grupės tiriamųjų (p5900 MET-minutės per savaitę). Fiziškai aktyvių (>5900 MET-minutės per savaitę) tiriamųjų žievinių lęšiuko drumsčių intensyvumas kairėje akyje atvirkščiai koreliavo (r=–0,452, p<0,05) su jų fiziniu aktyvumu. Išvada. Akies lęšiuko drumstėjimo intensyvumas ir katarakta yra statistiškai reikšmingai susiję su fiziniu aktyvumu.

Objective. To study the character and the intensity of lens opacity and the visual acuity in cataract patients and controls and to determine the association of these indices with the subjects’ physical activity. Material and methods. The lens opacity in 110 eyes of patients (n=110) aged 60.3±0.4 (mean±SEM) years admitted to the Clinic of Eye Diseases of Kaunas University of Medicine Hospital for cataract surgery and the lens opacity of 100 eyes of controls (n=50) aged 59.8±0.4 (mean±SEM) (p>0.05) years hospitalized in the Clinic of Skin and Venereal Diseases was evaluated according to the Lens Opacity Classification System, version III. Visual acuity was investigated using the Snellen chart. Physical activity in metabolic equivalent minutes per week (MET-minutes/week) was evaluated according to the International Physical Activity Questionnaire. Results. The means of the intensity of lens opacity of patients with cataract were significantly higher, and the means of visual acuity and physical activity were significantly lower, compared to controls (p5900 MET-minutes/week) patients. Physical activity was inversely correlated (r=–0.452, p5900 MET-minutes/week) subjects with cataract who underwent the examination of the left eye. Conclusion. The intensity of lens opacity and cataract are statistically significantly related to physical activity.
