• W1597478360 abstract "the purpose of this study was to estimate the prevalence and distribution of reduced visual acuity, major chronic eye diseases, and subsequent need for eye care services in the finnish adult population comprising persons aged 30 years and older. in addition, we analyzed the effect of decreased vision on functioning and need for assistance using the world health Organization’s (WHO) International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (icf) as a framework. the study was based on the health 2000 health examination survey, a nationally representative population-based comprehensive survey of health and functional capacity carried out in 2000 to 2001 in finland. the study sample representing the Finnish population aged 30 years and older was drawn by a two-stage stratified cluster sampling. the health 2000 survey included a home interview and a comprehensive health examination conducted at a nearby screening center. if the invited participants did not attend, an abridged examination was conducted at home or in an institution. Based on our finding in participants, the great majority (96%) of Finnish adults had at least moderate visual acuity (VA ≥ 0.5) with current refraction correction, if any. However, in the age group 75–84 years the prevalence decreased to 81%, and after 85 years to 46%. in the population aged 30 years and older, the prevalence of habitual visual impairment (va ≤ 0.25) was 1.6%, and 0.5% were blind (VA < 0.1). The prevalence of visual impairment increased significantly with age (p < 0.001), and after the age of 65 years the increase was sharp. Visual impairment was as common in women as in men (OR 1.20, 95% CI 0.82–1.74). Based on self-reported and/or register-based data, the estimated total prevalences of cataract, glaucoma, age-related maculopathy (arm), and diabetic retinopathy (dr) in the study population were 10%, 5%, 4%, and 1%, respectively. The prevalence of all of these chronic eye diseases increased with age (p < 0.001). Cataract and glaucoma were more common in women than in men (OR 1.55, 95% CI 1.26–1.91 and OR 1.57, 95% CI 1.24– 1.98, respectively). the most prevalent eye diseases in people with visual impairment (va ≤ 0.25) were ARM (37%), unoperated cataract (27%), glaucoma (22%), and DR (7%). One-half (58%) of visually impaired people had had a vision examination during the past five years, and 79% had received some vision rehabilitation services, mainly in the form of spectacles (70%). Only one-third (31%) had received formal low vision rehabilitation (i.e. fitting of low vision aids, receiving patient education, training for orientation and mobility, training for activities of daily living (adl), or consultation with a social worker). people with low vision (va 0.1–0.25) were less likely to have received formal low vision rehabilitation, magnifying glasses, or other low vision aids than blind people (VA < 0.1). Furthermore, low cognitive capacity and living in an institution were associated with limited use of vision rehabilitation services. of the visually impaired living in the community, 71% reported a need for assistance and 24% had an unmet need for assistance in everyday activities. prevalence of limitations in adl, instrumental activities of daily living (IADL), and mobility increased with decreasing VA (p < 0.001). Visually impaired persons (VA ≤ 0.25) were four times more likely to have ADL disabilities than those with good VA (VA ≥ 0.8) after adjustment for sociodemographic and behavioral factors and chronic conditions (OR 4.36, 95% CI 2.44–7.78). Limitations in IADL and measured mobility were five times as likely (OR 4.82, 95% CI 2.38–9.76 and OR 5.37, 95% CI 2.44–7.78, respectively) and self-reported mobility limitations were three times as likely (OR 3.07, 95% CI 1.67–9.63) as in persons with good VA. the high prevalence of age-related eye diseases and subsequent visual impairment in the fastest growing segment of the population will result in a substantial increase in the demand for eye care services in the future. many of the visually impaired, especially older persons with decreased cognitive capacity or living in an institution, have not had a recent vision examination and lack adequate low vision rehabilitation. this highlights the need for regular evaluation of visual function in the elderly and an active dissemination of information about rehabilitation services. decreased va is strongly associated with functional limitations, and even a slight decrease in va was found to be associated with limited functioning. thus, continuous efforts are needed to identify and treat eye diseases to maintain patients’ quality of life and to alleviate the social and economic burden of serious eye diseases." @default.
