Parental History of Myopia, Sports and Outdoor Activities, and Future Myopia

Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science · 2007 · Vol. 48(8) · pp. 3524–3524

Abstract

Parental history of myopia was an important predictor in univariate and multivariate models, with a differential effect of sports and outdoor activity hours per week based on the number of myopic parents. Lower amounts of sports and outdoor activity increased the odds of becoming myopic in those children with two myopic parents more than in those children with either zero or one myopic parent. The chance of becoming myopic for children with no myopic parents appears lowest in the children with the highest amount of sports and outdoor activity, compared with those with two myopic parents.
