本文报告了青海省卫校附属医院1974.4～1982.4月八年中住院白内障患者458例的发病情况,其中以老年性白内障为最多,共317例,占69.2%,其次为外伤性及并发性白内障,分别占13.5%及8.95%。老年性白内障的职业以农民、牧民及居民为最多,共278例,占87.7%。本文依据西宁高原地区太阳辐射量的强度及老年性白内障的职业分布,认为青海高原白内障的发病因素,符合毛文书教授提出的“太阳辐射能促进白内障发生”的论断。 This article reports the incidence of 458 cases of hospitalized cataract in the four-year period from 1974.4 to 1982.4 in Qinghai Province. Of them, the incidence of cataract in the elderly was the highest (317 cases, accounting for 69.2%), followed by traumatic and complicated cataract Accounting for 13.5% and 8.95%. Occupation of senile cataract to farmers, pastoralists and residents for the most, a total of 278 cases, accounting for 87.7%. Based on the intensity of solar radiation in Xining Plateau and the occupational distribution of senile cataract, this paper considers that the incidence of cataract in Qinghai Plateau is in line with the conclusion that “solar radiation can promote cataract” proposed by Professor Mao Wenshu.
