Abstract

|
Purpose : This study was conducted to find out how glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy are related to the quality of life in adults over the age of 50.
Methods : Among the data from the 7th National Health and Nutrition Survey (2016~2018), the relationship with the current EQ-5D was analyzed in adults aged 50 or older who were diagnosed with glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy and the significance level was set at p<0.050.
Results : Age was a common factor affecting glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy. In the relationship between these eye disease and quality of life, Glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy appeared to have discomfort in daily activities in the relationship between these eye diseases and quality of life, but there was no statistical significance. On the other hand, macular degeneration was found to have a significant risk of losing self-management ability [Odds ratio: 2.56(95% CI:1.05-6.25)].
Conclusion : In this study, it was confirmed that major eye diseases such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy are age-related, and macular degeneration reduces quality of life such as self-management ability.
