Associations with Intraocular Pressure in a Large Cohort: Results from the UK Biobank.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To describe the associations of physical and demographic factors with Goldmann-correlated intraocular pressure (IOPg) and corneal-compensated intraocular pressure (IOPcc) in a British cohort.

Design

Cross-sectional study within the UK Biobank, a large-scale multisite cohort study in the United Kingdom.

Participants

We included 110 573 participants from the UK Biobank with intraocular pressure (IOP) measurements available. Their mean age was 57 years (range, 40-69 years); 54% were women, and 90% were white.

Methods

Participants had 1 IOP measurement made on each eye using the Ocular Response Analyzer noncontact tonometer. Linear regression models were used to assess the associations of IOP with physical and demographic factors.
