From a review of the data of 106,926, consecutive male military recruits aged 17 to 19 years, we found that myopia is associated neither with higher stature nor with greater weight. Persons with severe myopia were slightly shorter (172.8\u00b1 7.1 cm) and weighed less (62.6\u00b1 11.0 kg) than those with mild myopia (173.3\u00b1 6.9 cm and 63.8\u00b1 10.5 kg respectively), while the non-myopes were taller (173.7\u00b1 6.7 cm) and heavier (63.9\u00b1 10.2 kg) than the myopes (p=0.0001). The mean body-mass index was only slightly smaller among the myopes (21.1\u00b1 3.1 kg\/m2) than among the non-myopes (21.2\u00b1 2.9 kg\/m2, p=0.0001).<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/112067219500500101","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,4,16]],"date-time":"2018-04-16T11:11:52Z","timestamp":1523877112000},"page":"1-6","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":46,"title":["Myopia and Stature: Findings in a Population of 106,926 Males"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"5","author":[{"given":"M.","family":"Rosner","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical Corps, Israel Defence Forces, Sackler Faculty of Medicine, Tel Aviv University, Chaim Sheba Medical Center, Tel Hashomer - Israel"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"A.","family":"Laor","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical Corps, Israel Defence Forces, Sackler Faculty of Medicine, Tel Aviv University, Chaim Sheba Medical Center, Tel Hashomer - Israel"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M.","family":"Belkin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Maurice and Gabriela Goldschleger Eye Research Institute, Sackler Faculty of Medicine, Tel Aviv University, Chaim Sheba Medical Center, Tel Hashomer - Israel"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[1995,1,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-112067219500500101","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"516","DOI":"10.1097\/00006324-198107000-00002","volume":"58","author":"Baldwin W.R.","year":"1981","journal-title":"Am J Optom Physiol Opt"},{"key":"bibr2-112067219500500101","first-page":"220","volume":"111","author":"Angle J.","year":"1980","journal-title":"Am J Ophthalmol"},{"key":"bibr3-112067219500500101","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1508","DOI":"10.1001\/archopht.1987.01060110054030","volume":"105","author":"Rosner M.","year":"1987","journal-title":"Arch Ophthalmol"},{"key":"bibr4-112067219500500101","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"355","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1755-3768.1950.tb05368.x","volume":"28","author":"Johansen E.V.","year":"1950","journal-title":"Acta Ophthalmol"},{"key":"bibr5-112067219500500101","volume-title":"Refractive and body growth.","author":"Pendse G.S.","year":"1954"},{"key":"bibr6-112067219500500101","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"476","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(54)91187-3","volume":"1","author":"Gardiner P.A.","year":"1954","journal-title":"Lancet"},{"key":"bibr7-112067219500500101","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"952","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(55)92792-6","volume":"2","author":"Gardiner P.A.","year":"1955","journal-title":"Lancet"},{"key":"bibr8-112067219500500101","first-page":"734","volume":"18","author":"Benoit A.","year":"1958","journal-title":"Arch Opht (Paris)"},{"key":"bibr9-112067219500500101","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"751","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1755-3768.1966.tb05502.x","volume":"44","author":"Goldschmidt E.","year":"1966","journal-title":"Acta Ophthalmol"},{"key":"bibr10-112067219500500101","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"41","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1755-3768.1988.tb02660.x","volume":"185","author":"Teasdale T.W.","year":"1988","journal-title":"Acta Ophthalmol (Suppl)"},{"key":"bibr11-112067219500500101","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"673","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1755-3768.1987.tb07062.x","volume":"65","author":"Teikari J.M.","year":"1987","journal-title":"Acta Ophthalmol"},{"key":"bibr12-112067219500500101","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1152","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(58)91951-2","volume":"1","author":"Gardiner P.A.","year":"1958","journal-title":"Lancet"},{"key":"bibr13-112067219500500101","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"917","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1755-3768.1982.tb00622.x","volume":"60","author":"Krause U.","year":"1982","journal-title":"Acta Ophthalmol"},{"key":"bibr14-112067219500500101","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"440","DOI":"10.1136\/bjo.63.6.440","volume":"63","author":"Johnson G.J.","year":"1979","journal-title":"Br J Ophthalmol"},{"key":"bibr15-112067219500500101","volume-title":"Medical Research Council, Special Report Series No. 301","author":"Sorsby A.","year":"1961"},{"key":"bibr16-112067219500500101","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"111","DOI":"10.1097\/00006324-195403000-00001","volume":"31","author":"Young F.A.","year":"1954","journal-title":"Am J Opt"},{"key":"bibr17-112067219500500101","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"753","DOI":"10.1097\/00006324-198109000-00010","volume":"58","author":"Gawron V.J.","year":"1981","journal-title":"Am J Optom Physiol Opt"},{"key":"bibr18-112067219500500101","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"85","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1755-3768.1985.tb06852.x","volume":"173","author":"Parssinen O.","year":"1985","journal-title":"Acta Ophthalmol (Suppl)"},{"key":"bibr19-112067219500500101","unstructured":"WilliamsR.H.
