Overview

Cross-sectional analysis demonstrates dietary influences on prevalent myopia in school-aged children, suggesting implications for prevention.

Key Points

  • To explore the links between dietary patterns and prevalent myopia in school-aged children and to develop a predictive model.
  • Cross-sectional analysis of 1,316 children aged 6-10 years in Tianjin
  • Cycloplegic refraction and axial length measurements were taken
  • Multivariable regression to assess associations with dietary patterns and myopia
  • Whole grains and nuts dietary pattern linked to shorter axial length (β = −0.11, P = 0.041)
  • Lower odds of prevalent myopia associated with whole grains and nuts (OR = 0.68, P = 0.029)
  • Parental myopia associated with higher odds of prevalent myopia; screen-time increased odds in certain dietary patterns.
