| description | Background: Myopia is a type of refractive error which causes visual impairment. Early detection in schoolaged
children is important to prevent. Permanent visual impairment. The purpose of this study is to
determine the prevalence, and risk factors, myopia in elementary student at Temanggung District.
Method: A cross-sectional analytic study design was used. The target population for screening was students
from 4th
-6
th grade attending schools in the Temanggung and Ngadirejo sub-districts (three schools per subdistrict).
Distant visual acuity was tested by trained staff using Snellen charts. Risk factors were collected by
structured questionnaire, completed by parents. Univariat and bivariat analysis were performed to calculate
odds ratio and multivariate analysis by logistic regression.
Results: There were 477 respondents: 51% male and 49% female. Age ranged between 9-15 years. The
prevalence of myopia was 15% (95%CI: 0.11-0.17). Myopia was more common in females and children from
Ngadirejo (a rural area). Bivariat analysis indicated that risk factors related to myopia are genetic, with
OR=2.41 (95%CI: 1.29-4.38) p-value 0.002, duration of television/computer game use with OR=2.08
(95%CI: 1.17-3.79) p-value 0.007, reading distance with OR=1.83 (95%CI: 1.04-3.22) p-value 0.034 and
body position while reading with OR=2.46 (95%CI: 1.26-4.68) p-value 0.003. Multivariate analysis
identified genetic factors as the main risk factors for myopia (OR=2.23; 95%CI: 1,23-4,02).
Conclusion: Prevalence of myopia at Temanggung District is high enough. Genetic factor was identified as
the main risk factor. Myopia screening should be performed routinely to prevent permanent visual
impairment. Children with a family history of myopia should be limited in near-work activity. |
