Abstract
The effects of meteorological conditions on IOP using a large-scale health examination cohort were investigated. There were a total of 811,854 measurements from 126,630 eyes of 63,839 subjects in 9 years from a health checkup cohort followed up annually for age, sex, body height, body mass index (BMI), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and IOP. The effects of these variables and the meteorological data of daily average temperature (TP), daily average local atmospheric pressure (AP), daily average volumetric humidity (VH), and daily amount of rainfall (RF) on the day of IOP measurement on IOP were investigated. Several variables were significantly associated with IOP, including sex, age, body height, BMI, SBP, DBP, average TP, average AP, average VH, RF, white blood cell count, red blood cell count, hemoglobin, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, guanosine triphosphate, calcium, and HbA1c. This study indicated a correlation between meteorological factors and IOP. Higher AP and RF were associated with elevated IOP, whereas higher TP and VH were associated with decreased IOP.
