Background Inadequate spectacle correction limits the benefit of school vision screening, yet most evidence addresses only whether a child owns glasses rather than whether those glasses work. This study examined the prevalence, predictors, and persistence of inadequate spectacle correction among schoolchildren in three...
Refractive error is highly prevalent among urban Vietnamese schoolchildren, and confirmed myopia appears to be rising rapidly at younger ages, which supports closer surveillance and earlier school-based intervention in Vietnam and similar settings.
Background. Higher childhood body mass index (BMI) is linked to earlier and less intense pubertal growth spurts, but whether it also changes the spurt duration is rarely studied, especially in Vietnam and Southeast Asia. Methods. We used previously fitted Superimposition by Translation and Rotation (SITAR) growth curve...
Purpose: To examine the association between BMI-for-age z-score (BAZ) and BMI status with refractive error prevalence, incidence, subtypes, and quantitative refraction in Vietnamese schoolchildren. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed body mass index and refractive error data from annual school health checks in three V...
