Epidemiology and heritability of astigmatism in Norwegian twins: an analysis of self-reported data.

Ophthalmic epidemiology - 1 Aug 2006

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: To describe the occurrence and heritability of astigmatism in a population-based sample of Norwegian twins. METHODS: Self-reported history of astigmatism based on questionnaire responses was used to estimate the prevalence and incidence rates of astigmatism from birth through 31 years in 8,045 twins. Kaplan-Meier analysis and log-binomial regression were used to study the conditional and relative risk of...
