Abstract:On a global scale, myopia is one of the most common causes of visual impairment. Given the increasing prevalence of myopia, it is vital to understand the pathogenesis and to identify potential interventions. Some studies have described physical activity as a potential correlation for myopia. The objective of this study was to make a systematic review regarding the correlation between physical activity and myopia. A total of 263 papers were identified in a systematic database search of PubMed/Medline and Embase… Show more
“…Our findings corresponded with previous studies, although there are some conflicting results in the literature (Suhr Thykjær et al. ). The protective role of lifestyle choices, such as PA and time outdoors, has been an area of interest in the last 10 years (Jacobsen et al.…”

“…In a systematic review investigating PA and myopia, Suhr Thykjær et al. () found a consistent relationship between more PA and less myopia. They concluded that there was no evidence for an independent effect of PA.…”

“…The validity of questionnaires is, however, questionable when using subjective reports (Suhr Thykjær et al. ). Objective measurements with accelerometers offer a distinct advantage over self‐reporting methods, as they provide reliable information with real‐time data on PA pattern over a given period.…”
The prevalence of myopia among Danish children was 17.9%. By logistic regression and slope analysis, we found no association between PA and myopia, in this first of its kind study based on objective and repeated PA data.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
