Abstract:ObjectiveTo explore the independent effect of dietary factors on dominant eye’s vision among civil aviator students in China. MethodsTotally, 314 aviator students in Civil Aviation Flight University of China were selected and required to fill in a questionnaire with items like the habits of using eyes, diet and other vision related factors. The current vision was tested on spot and the former vision data when they were recruited were collected. The students were divided into two groups according to the former vision of their dominant eyes. Chi-square test was used to screen vision related factors and multi-factor Logistic regression model was used to analyze the relations between dietary factors and the change of dominant eye’s vision, the OR and adjusted OR were calculated as well. ResultsHigh frequency of eating carbohydrate food could increase the risk of vision decline (adjusted OR=3.48, 95%CI: 1.01~11.98). The frequency of eating meat, fish, eggs, milk, fruits, vegetables and the fineness or hardness of the food were not found to be related with vision. ConclusionsThe intake of carbohydrate food should be controlled among civil aviators so as to prevent vision decline. A larger sample size research using improved survey tools should be conducted in the future.
