| Abstract |
|
The authors evaluated the fundus findings among the 4143 relatively healthy Koreans who visited the Health Clinic Center in Koryo General Hospital in Seoul for the routine physical check-up from June 1983 to June 1984. In this study, we investigated the relationships among the hypertensive arteriosclerotic retinopathies with the systemic blood pressure and serum cholesterol, neutral fat, beta-lipoprotein. The results are: 1. Among the 4143 cases, 2989 males and 1154 females are included, their age distribution was from 10 to 99 years old. 2. Of the 4143 cases, 101 cases had Hypertensive Retinopathy and of these cases K-W Grade I were most common. 3. 139 cases of the 4143 cases had Arteriosclerotic Retinopathy and G-I was most common. 4. The K-W Grades of the Hypertensive Retinopathy were positively related to the sistolic, the diastolic blood pressure. 5. There were no significant relationships between Hypertensive Retinopathy and serum cholesterol level, neutral fat, beta-lipoprotein. 6. In the A-V crossing phenomenon, the incidences of concealment and displacement were positively related to the Grades of the Arteriosclerotic Retinopathy. 7. To compare with the former evaluation(Part I) 5), the following results are obtained: (1) The incidence of hypertensive retinopathy in part I was 8% and 2.43 in part II. (2) The incidence of arteriosclerotic retinopathy in part I was 6.5% and 3% in part II. |
