in English, Chinese

In 2018, the myopia detection rate of children and adolescents aged 5-18 years old in Shaanxi Province was 54.9% (11 060/20 144). The myopia detection rate of girls ［58.6%(5 830/9 949)］ was higher than that of boys ［58.6% (3 416/5 830)］ (P<0.001). In children and adolescents, the myopia detection rate increased with the age before their 16 years old, and saw a stable or downward trend after the age of 16. After adjusting the confounding factors, the myopia detection rate of children and adolescents from regions with per capita GDP>100 000 yuan was higherthan that of children and adolescents from regions with per capita GDP<50 000 yuan［OR (95%CI):1.58(1.34-1.87)］.

2018年陕西省5~18岁儿童青少年近视检出率为54.9%（11 060/20 144），女生近视检出率［58.6%（5 830/9 949）］大于男生［58.6%（3 416/5 830）］（P<0.001）。儿童青少年近视检出率在16‌岁之前随年龄增加而增加，16‌岁之后呈平稳甚至下降的趋势。调整相关混杂因素后，与人均GDP<5万元地区相比，人均GDP>10万元地区的儿童青少年近视检出率均较高［OR（95%CI）值为1.58（1.34~1.87）］。.
