摘要
Objectives: In this study, we compare the visual acuity levels and physical activity participation of Chinese and Japanese children. Methods: We collected data on static visual acuity, kinetic visual acuity, axial length, intensity, frequency, duration, amount, and physical activity items of 431 children aged 6-12 years from Chinese and Japanese schools in the same city. Our analysis examined the relationships involving age, visual function indicators, ocular biometric parameters, and extracurricular physical activity. Results: We found the myopia rate higher in Chinese children than in Japanese children, increasing with age except in grade 4; kinetic visual acuity in Chinese children was lower than in Japanese children (p<.01). The axial length becomes longer with age in both groups, with Chinese children having a longer axial length than Japanese children. The amount of physical activity in Chinese and Japanese children aged 6-12 years fluctuates. The frequency, duration, and physical activity items are lower in Chinese children than Japanese (p<.01). Conclusions: Chinese and Japanese children's overall static visual acuity development level shows a decreasing trend, and Japanese children have better kinetic visual acuity and physical activity participation than Chinese children. Physical activity could have an impact on visual acuity.
