    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • Glaucoma is a leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide.
    • Understanding glaucoma prevalence and demographics is crucial for public health planning.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To determine the prevalence of glaucoma in Gothenburg in 1976.
    • To analyze the age and sex distribution of glaucoma patients.
    • To investigate the laterality and age of onset of the disorder.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of records from all registered glaucoma patients in Gothenburg in 1976.
    • Calculation of overall prevalence and distribution across age and sex groups.
    • Examination of unilateral versus bilateral disease and age of onset.

    Main Results:

    • A total of 2776 individuals were identified, yielding an overall prevalence of 0.63%.
    • Prevalence markedly increased in older age groups.
    • No significant sex difference in prevalence was observed within specific age groups.

    Conclusions:

    • The study provides valuable epidemiological data on glaucoma in a defined population.
    • Age is a significant risk factor for glaucoma.
    • Further detailed investigation of a sample population is planned.
