摘要
目的测量老年人眼球表面角膜温度（TOC），与其他年龄组正常成年人比较，确定角膜温度正常参考范围，探讨年龄与眼表温度的关系。方法控制环境温度（26±2）℃，相对湿度（60土5）％时，采用非接触红外测温仪测量386例健康志愿者（年龄17～83岁）瞬目后即刻角膜中央的表面温度，根据年龄将受试者分为三组：I组17～29岁，124例；II组30～59岁，141例；III组60～89岁，121例。结果I组受试者眼表温度与年龄呈正相关，有统计学意义（r=0．692，P〈0．01），平均眼表温度（32．0土1．3）℃；I／组受试者眼表温度与年龄呈负相关，有统计学意义（r一0．707，P〈0．01），平均眼表温度（32．2土1．2）℃；III组受试者眼表温度与年龄呈正相关，无统计学意义（r=0．060，P=0．515），平均眼表温度（32．9±1．3）℃。结论在环境温度为（26±2）℃及相对湿度为（60±5）％的条件下，建议将（32．9±1．3）℃作为非接触式红外线测温仪测量老年人眼球表面温度的正常值范围，年龄≥60岁时眼表温度与年龄无明显相关性，为老年人干眼患者的筛查和诊断提供参考依据。
Objective To study the correlation between age and temperature of the cornea （TOC） in the elderly. Methods 386 healthy volunteers （age between 17 and 83 years） were divided into 3 groups： group I （age 〈 30 years, n= 124）, group II （age between 35 and 59 years, n= 141） and group III （age 〉160 years, n= 121）. Using non-contact infrared thermometer to measure the cornea temperature in order to analyze the relationship between age and TOC. Results In group I, age was positive correlated with TOC （r=0.692, P〈0.01）, the mean TOC was （32.0±1.3）℃. In group II, age was negetive correlated with TOC （ r =-0.707, P 〈 0.01 ）, the mean TOC was （32.2 ± 1.2 ） %. In group III, age was positive correlated with TOC, but was not statistically significant （r=0.060, P=0.515 ）, the TOC was （32.9± 1.3 ） ℃. Conclusions The cornea temperature reference range in the elderly is （32.9± 1.3 ） ℃ and the correlation between age and TOC is positive, but not statistically significant.
