Case-control study of senile cataract in Japan: a preliminary report.
A hospital-based case-control study of senile cataract was conducted in Japan from 1988 to 1990. Two hundred and twelve patients with senile cataract and 212 control subjects with the same age-sex distribution were interviewed and given an ophthalmological examination. Both groups were randomly selected outpatients from 9 hospitals. Associations between senile cataract and four groups of variables, factors regarded as risks, life style habits, general aging indices or other factors were analyzed, and the data was subjected to statistical analysis. An increased risk of cataract was found in males who were presently spending 7 hours or more outside daily (Odds ratio = 5.07) and in females with 4 or fewer remaining teeth (Odds ratio = 2.03). The findings from this study suggest that there may be a sex-related host sensitivity or life style which is predisposing to the development of senile cataract.
