Накратко на български

Зрението и слухото на европейците се анализират чрез данни за самодекларирани проблеми, като например затруднено виждане. Това помага да се определи колко често се срещат тези нарушения и кои фактори влияят върху тях.

Self-reported vision status and associated risk factors in Europe: prevalence and temporal change

Eurostat data provides an important opportunity to investigate the prevalence of self-reported visual difficulties and also to relate this to potential risk factors that are also collected by the Eurostat program. The primary objective is to estimate the prevalence of self-reported vision impairment in Europe. Secondary objectives include estimation of self-reported dual sensory loss and of self-reported hearing loss in Europe.

Цел на проекта

The European Coalition for Vision (ECV) exists to raise the profile of eye health and vision, help prevent avoidable visualimpairment and secure an equal and inclusive society for those with irreversible blindness or low vision in Europe. Membersof the group have assessed the evidence base for prevalence of vision impairment and blindness in Europe [ref: Bourne,Jonas et al. Br J Ophthalmol 2014 May;98(5):629-38] by collating prevalence data from all population-based surveys of eyedisease. While these efforts have established estimates of numbers of people affected by vision loss, we are unaware of theself-reported visual problems of European Union citizens. This Research Fellowship (supported by ECV) will involve analysisof Eurostat data which provides an opportunity for us to investigate the prevalence of self-reported visual difficulties and alsoto relate this to potential risk factors that are also collected by the Eurostat program. The primary objective is to estimate theprevalence of self-reported distance and near vision impairment in Europe, and change over past 10 years. Secondaryobjectives include estimation of prevalence of refractive correction in Europe, demographic, environmental and healthrelatedrisk factors for self-reported vision loss and to investigate the association between self-reported vision loss and selfreportedhearing loss. Additionally, access to health services for those with these impairments will be investigated. This isrelevant given the importance of social inclusion in European policies of health goals and universal health coverage. TheFellow will be supported by Professor Rupert Bourne, who coordinates the Vision Loss Expert Group of the Global BurdenDisease Study, in Cambridge, UK, and a team of researchers that include bioinformatics, public health and statisticsexpertise at Anglia Ruskin University with collaborations with Queens University Belfast and University of Ulster.
