Anterior segment measurements and determinants of angle width with short, medium, and long axial lengths in a rural Chinese population.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To report the anterior segment measurements and investigate the determinants of angle width with short, medium, and long axial length (AL) in a rural Chinese population.

Design

Observational, population-based, cross-sectional study.

Methods

Subjects aged ≥35 years who underwent complete ocular examinations during the follow-up of the Handan Eye Study were included. Ocular data of the right eye were analyzed. Anterior segment parameters were obtained and stratified by age and sex. AL was categorized into short (<22.0 mm), medium (22.0-23.5 mm), and long (>23.5 mm) subgroups. Linear regression analyses were performed to identify the parameters associated with angle width (angle opening distance at 500 μm from the scleral spur (SS) [AOD500]).
