摘要：
Risk factors for age-related posterior subcapsular cataract (PSC) were evaluated in a study of 51 patients with PSC and 50 controls. Groups were matched for sex (50% women) and age (37 to 62 years). A definitive correlation was found between PSC and risk factors including aging, smoking, hypertension, and dermatoglyphics pattern. No correlation was found between PSC and diet body mass index, history of diabetes, impaired glucose tolerance, blood urea nitrogen levels, and phenylthiourea taste sensitivity.
