Description

Xiangxiang Liu and nine co-authors study how body measures relate to eye development in preschool children, in work from 2024. The group held 1,477 Chinese children aged three to six from nine kindergartens in Beijing. Height, weight and body mass index were set against visual acuity, refraction and eye measures such as axial length and chamber depth, with models split by sex.

Taller children had longer eyes, deeper chambers, thinner lenses and slightly worse acuity and refraction in adjusted results. Links between body mass index and acuity reached significance in girls but not boys. Older and heavier children showed better acuity after age was taken into account. The authors stress early eye health checks alongside growth tracking.
