The correlation of acoustic and morphometric parameters of the optic nerve and anthropometric data in healthy young people

Purpose : to study the correlation between acoustic and morphometric parameters of optic nerve (ON) anthropometric data in healthy young people. Material methods . The research involved 24 volunteers (48 eyes), including 9 men 15 women, average age was 25.0 ± 1.9 years. Anthropometry included measurements height, weight, body mass index (BMI). Ultrasound examination retrobulbar part ON measurement thickness with without sheath, echodensitometry ON, ocular biometry. Using optical coherence tomography, we measured intraocular registration Bruch's membrane opening ovality index. Results sheath 4.6 0.3 mm, 2.6 0.2 mm. In men, thicker than women (p = 0.001). density parenchyma orbital 101.2 11.4 r.u. mean significantly higher that men. Correlation analysis revealed a statistically significant height (r 0.480). strongest reliable established weight 0.712) BMI 0.509) < 0.05). No found disc, anthropometry ON. Conclusion Studying characteristics intraorbital parts people, which gender characteristics, will contribute development more accurate diagnostic criteria state evaluations.
