Abstract
Purpose: We aimed to describe changes in the geographic distribution of self-reported visual impairment (VI) over the last decade (2010-2019) in the U.S.
Methods: Our study was an analysis of publicly available data collected between 2010 and 2019 from the Census Bureau American Community Survey.
Results: The mean overall prevalence of self-reported VI from 2010 to 2019 was 2.31% in the United States, and there was a significant increase in VI over the past decade from 2.25% in 2010-2014 to 2.37% in 2015-2019 (p < .001). VI was significantly higher in rural counties (3.58%), compared to urban (3.10%) or metropolitan counties (2.18%) (p < .001). In terms of geographic region, the South of the United States had the highest rate of VI (2.63%) (p < .001). For age groups > 17-years-old in the 2010-2019 data, women had higher rates of VI compared to men.
Conclusions: Prevalence of self-reported visual impairment has risen and disproportionately affects certain communities. This includes individuals living in the South, in rural counties, and women.
目的：我们旨在描述过去十年（2010-2019年）美国自我报告的视觉障碍（VI）地理分布的变化。方法：我们的研究分析了人口普查局美国社区调查在2010年至2019年间收集的公开数据在过去十年中，VI从2010-2014年的2.25%显著增加到2015-2019年的2.37%（p p p 在2010-2019年的数据中，17岁的女性VI发病率高于男性。结论：自我报告的视力障碍的患病率有所上升，并对某些社区产生了不成比例的影响。这包括生活在南方、农村县的个人和妇女。
