Association Between Social Determinants of Health and Examination-Based Vision Loss vs Self-reported Vision Measures.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Recent evidence suggests that social determinants of health (SDOH) affect vision loss, but it is unclear whether estimated associations differ between clinically evaluated and self-reported vision loss.

Objective

To identify associations between SDOH and evaluated vision impairment and to assess whether these associations hold when examining self-reported vision loss.

Design, setting, and participants

This population-based cross-sectional comparison included participants 12 years and older in the 2005 to 2008 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), participants of all ages (infants and older) in the 2019 American Community Survey (ACS), and adults 18 years and older in the 2019 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS).
