Correlation of some ocular and hematologic factors and intraocular pressure in an aged population

Acta Ophthalmol (Copenh). 1991 Feb;69(1):76-8. doi: 10.1111/j.1755-3768.1991.tb01996.x.

Abstract

Ocular status including gonioscopy was performed on 833 volunteers in the Kuopio Eye Survey (KEYS). Some systemic factors including arterial blood pressure, body mass index, blood hemoglobin and glucose were also screened. In regression analysis only systolic blood pressure, grade of trabecular meshwork pigmentation and sex had a statistically significant correlation to intraocular pressure.
