Abstract

Aim: The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between pupillary functions, wavefront aberrations, and childhood obesity. Material and Method: Fifty-four obese children (≥95th body mass index percentile) were compared with 58 age- and gender-matched controls ( 0.05). Total optical aberrations were also significantly higher in obese children (1.17±0.79, 0.88±0.47; p˂0.01). The other aberrations such as tetrafoil, trefoil, coma, and total high order aberrations were higher in obese children but these changes were insignificant. Conclusion: This study showed an association between pupillary functions, total wavefront aberrations, and obesity. These data suggest that obesity might be an important risk factor for aberrations associated with diminished optical quality in children.

Özet

Amaç: Çalışmanın amacı pupiller fonksiyonlar ve wavefront aberasyonların çocukluk çağı obezitesi ile arasındaki ilişkinin araştırılmasıdır. Materyal ve Metot: Bu vaka kontrol çalışmasında 54 obez çocuk (vücut kitle indeksi ≥95 persentil), yaş ve cinsiyet uyumlu 58 kişilik kontrol grubu (vücut kitle indeksi 0,05 ). Toplam optik aberasyonlar obez çocuklarda anlamlı düzeyde yüksekti(1,17±0,79, 0,88±0,47; p˂0,01). Coma, trefoil ve toplam üst sıra aberasyonları içeren diğer bütün aberasyonlar obez çocuklarda yüksek iken fark istatistiksel olarak anlamlı değildi. Sonuç: Bu çalışma pupiller fonksiyon, toplam wavefront aberasyonlar ve obezite arasında bir ilişkiyi göstermiştir. Bu veriler obezitenin, çocuklarda azalmış optik kalite ile ilişkili aberasyonlar için önemli bir risk faktörü olabileceğini göstermiştir.
