Glaucoma was diagnosed based on optic disk appearance, perimetric results, and other ocular findings. Systemic blood pressure and intraocular pressure were measured and ocular perfusion pressure was calculated. Logistic regression analysis was performed to determine risk factors for POAG patients.Results and conclusion: Of the 710 subjects examined, 26 had POAG. The estimated prevalence of POAG was 3.7%. After adjusting for age, the prevalence of POAG was similar to that found in the Tajimi Study of Japanese subjects. Multivariate logistic regression analysis demonstrated that older age (&ge;60 years, odds ratio [OR]: 3.49), lower diastolic blood pressure (&le;58 mmHg, OR: 2.11), higher intraocular pressure (&ge;19 mmHg, OR: 4.12), and lower ocular perfusion pressure (&le;34 mmHg, OR: 5.78) were associated with increased risk of having POAG. These findings may be relevant for identifying high risk groups.Keywords: glaucoma, community health screening, risk factorsIshikawa MSawada YSato NYoshitomi TDove Medical PressarticleOphthalmologyRE1-994ENClinical Ophthalmology, Vol 2011, Iss default, Pp 1531-1537 (2011)
