ABSTRACT
To assess ocular parameters and their association with anthropometric measurements in Indo-Trinidadians adults. This was a clinical, descriptive, cross-sectional study of ocular parameters and anthropometry in adults Trinidadians of South Asian descent (Indo-Trinidadian). Ocular parameters were measured using optical coherence tomography, intraocular lens master biometer, and an autorefractor. Weight, height, and body mass index (BMI) were measured by anthropometry. Univariable and multivariable linear regressions were used to determine the association between demographic variables, anthropometric and ocular parameters. A total of 149 participants (298 eyes) comprising of 90 females (60.6%) and 59 males (39.4%). Aged 18 to 67 participated in the study. Males were taller, heavier, and had longer axial lengths than females which were statistically significant (P < .05). Age was negatively correlated with central corneal thickness (CCT) (r = -0.353, P = .044) and retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (r = -0.348, P = .047) but positively correlated with lens thickness (R = 0.881, P < .001). Education level was positively associated with CCT (R = 0.408, P = .018) but negatively associated with lens thickness (r = -0.521, P = .002). Weight was negatively correlated with corneal topography (r = -0.427, P = .013). Height was negatively correlated with cup-to-disc ratio (r = -0.410, P = .018), CCT (r = -0.382, P = .028), and corneal topography (r = -0.453, P = .008). There was no correlation between BMI, ocular parameters and CCT. There was a significant difference in the ocular parameters between males and females of South Asian descent in Trinidad and Tobago. Weight was negatively associated with the corneal topography. Height was negatively associated with the cup-to-disc ratio, central corneal thickness, and corneal topography. BMI had no statistically significant association with the ocular parameters investigated.
