Comparative StudyWhat factors are associated with myopia in young adults? A survey study in Taiwan Military Conscripts.
We investigated the independent impact of potential risk factors on myopia in young adults. ⋯ Older age, parental myopia, higher education level, more near work, less outdoor activity, and higher urbanization level were independent predictors of myopia. These data provided evidence to the multifactorial nature of myopia in young men in Taiwan.
