Research on the Current Status and Related Factors of Myopia of College Students
Objective To explore the current status and related factors of myopia of college students. Methods The paper chose 342 students in Shanxi Vocational University of Engineering Science and Technology from September 2021 to June 2023,investigated their baseline information,lifestyle habits,and study habits with questionnaire survey,and determined the relevant factors with logistic multivariate analysis. Results According to the investigation,there were 175 cases of myopia among 342 college students,with an incidence rate of 51.17%. The proportion in myopia group with eye use time of learning>10h/d,outdoor activity time<1h/d,physical exercise time<1h/d,sleep time<8h/d,history of eye diseases,poor homework posture habits,and preference for reading in bed and using computers/phones time≥ 4h is higher,difference is statistically significant compared with the normal vision group (P<0.05). With dependent variable of myopia and independent variables of various factors,the analysis shows eye use time of learning>10h/d,outdoor activity time<1h/d,physical exercise time<1h/d,sleep time<8h/d,history of eye diseases,poor homework posture habits,reading in bed,and using computers/mobile phones ≥ 4h are the relevant influencing factors of myopia of college students. Conclusion Through investigation and analysis,it is found that the myopia rate of college students is relatively high,and there are problems of poor eye habits,incorrect sitting posture,and short exercise time. To reduce incidence of myopia,it is crucial to strengthen the promotion of myopia related knowledge of college students,encourage them to develop good living and learning habits,and delay progression of myopia.
