Abstract Objective: To investigate the prevalence and risk factors of pterygium in Han and Kazak ethnic groups
aged 50 and older in the Tacheng region of Xinjiang. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study. The
prevalence of pterygium in people aged 50 years and older in the Tacheng region was investigated and
studied by the Jiu Shi Hospital of Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps from October 2015 to June
2018. The basic sampling units (BSU) were divided by administrative area, with approximately 1 000
people in each BSU, or divided into more than 2 BSUs if the BSU exceeded 1 500 people. The Tacheng
region was divided into 240 BSUs. We randomly selected 12 BSUs by using random number table method.
Questionnaires were used to collect information such as age, ethnicity, gender, hypertension, diabetes,
smoking, age-related cataract, coronary heart disease, duration of UV exposure (summer), and duration of
UV exposure (winter). Pterygium was diagnosed and graded clinically by slit-lamp examination. Rank sum
test was performed to compare the association between the above factors and the prevalence of pterygium.
Then, we entered all significant factors (predefined as P<0.05 in Rank sum test) into a multivariable
logistic regression model to identify independent factors correlating with pterygium. Results: A total of
2 114 individuals were included in this study, of which 489 were diagnosed with pterygium (23.13%),
including 65(21.04%) in group aged 50-59, 168(24.93%) in group aged 60-69, 219(23.08%) in group
aged 70-79, 37(20.33%) in group aged above 80. Rank sum test showed that gender (F=5.560, P=0.018),
smoking (F=6.568, P=0.010), duration of UV exposure (summer) (F=8.884, P<0.001), age-related cataract
(F=4.397, P=0.036), and refractive error (F=8.273, P=0.004) were associated with pterygium. Further
logistic multiple regression analysis revealed that UV exposure (summer) [0-4: OR=2.184, 95%CI: 0.502-
9.175; 4-8: OR=1.651, 95%CI: 1.256-3.295], and refractive error (OR=1.903, 95%CI: 1.425-2.248)
were independent risk factors for the presence of pterygium in this region. Conclusions: The prevalence
of pterygium in people aged 50 years and older in Tacheng, Xinjiang is 23.13%, There is no significant
difference between Han and Kazak ethnic groups. Ultraviolet radiation (summer) is independently
associated with pterygium.
