Association between ocular diseases and screen time and sedentary time derived from job-exposure matrices

Abstract After developing job-exposure matrices (JEMs) for screen and sedentary time, we aimed to assess the associations between the JEM-derived exposures and various ocular diseases. We collected data from patients hospitalized from 2005 to 2021. JEMs were developed from 41,718 patients with occup...

Description
Summary:Abstract After developing job-exposure matrices (JEMs) for screen and sedentary time, we aimed to assess the associations between the JEM-derived exposures and various ocular diseases. We collected data from patients hospitalized from 2005 to 2021. JEMs were developed from 41,718 patients with occupational information and screen and sedentary times. The adjusted means of screen and sedentary time were calculated for 143 occupational groups and categorized into three classes based on the tertiles. The associations between ocular diseases and these JEM-derived exposures were examined using multivariable conditional logistic regression for 727,589 patients. The odds ratios of the class with highest screen time were 1.05 (95% confidence interval, 1.01–1.09) for cataract, 1.24 (1.06–1.45) for primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), 1.26 (1.06–1.49) for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD), 1.49 (1.26–1.76) for ptosis, and 0.39 (0.27–0.57) for pterygium. The odds ratios of the class with highest sedentary time were 1.05 (1.01–1.09) for cataract, 1.24 (1.05–1.46) for RRD, 1.68 (1.42–1.99) for ptosis, and 0.60 (0.42–0.84) for pterygium. Both screen and sedentary time were positively associated with cataract, RRD and ptosis. Interestingly, POAG had a positive association with only screen time.
