Methods: This is a cross-sectional study. The medical records of 3458 myopic patients who underwent refractive surgery were evaluated. Axial length (AL), anterior chamber depth (ACD), lens thickness (LT) and other biometric parameters were measured using the IOL Master 700. The study determined the anterior segment length (ASL = ACD + LT), the posterior segment length (PSL = AL \u2212 ASL) and the ratio of ASL to PSL (ASL\/PSL). Results: This study included 3458 eyes from 3458 myopic patients (1171 men and 2287 women). The mean age was 27.38 \u00b1 6.88, ranging from 16 to 48 years old. The mean ASL was 7.35 \u00b1 0.27 mm, and the mean PSL was 18.39 \u00b1 1.18 mm. The ASL and PSL trends demonstrate an age-related increase for both genders, with notable gender-specific variations. Across most age groups, males typically exhibited higher ASLs and PSLs than females, with the exception of the 35\u201340 and 40\u201345 age groups. The ASL and PSL consistently increased with a rising AL. The AL strongly correlates with the PSL and negatively correlates with the ASL\/PSL ratio. The ACD and LT moderately correlate with the ASL, but an increased LT does not imply a longer posterior segment. The CCT and SE show little correlation with axial eye parameters. Conclusions: Among Chinese myopic patients, a longer ASL and PSL were correlated with older age and the male gender. The AL strongly correlates positively with the PSL and negatively correlates with the ASL\/PSL ratio. An elongation of the posterior segment may primarily account for an eyeball\u2019s lengthening.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm13041001","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,9]],"date-time":"2024-02-09T03:53:46Z","timestamp":1707450826000},"page":"1001","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Ocular Biometry Features and Their Relationship with Anterior and Posterior Segment Lengths among a Myopia Population in Northern China"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5039-0794","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Linbo","family":"Bian","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Peking University Third Hospital, Beijing 100191, China"},{"name":"Beijing Key Laboratory of Restoration of Damaged Ocular Nerve, Beijing 100191, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2885-5065","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wenlong","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Peking University Third Hospital, Beijing 100191, China"},{"name":"Beijing Key Laboratory of Restoration of Damaged Ocular Nerve, Beijing 100191, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rui","family":"Qin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Peking University Third Hospital, Beijing 100191, China"},{"name":"Beijing Key Laboratory of Restoration of Damaged Ocular Nerve, Beijing 100191, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zhengze","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Peking University Third Hospital, Beijing 100191, China"},{"name":"Beijing Key Laboratory of Restoration of Damaged Ocular Nerve, Beijing 100191, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lu","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Peking University Third Hospital, Beijing 100191, China"},{"name":"Beijing Key Laboratory of Restoration of Damaged Ocular Nerve, Beijing 100191, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yifan","family":"Zhou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Peking University Third Hospital, Beijing 100191, China"},{"name":"Beijing Key Laboratory of Restoration of Damaged Ocular Nerve, Beijing 100191, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dehai","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Peking University Third Hospital, Beijing 100191, China"},{"name":"Beijing Key Laboratory of Restoration of Damaged Ocular Nerve, Beijing 100191, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yiyun","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Peking University Third Hospital, Beijing 100191, China"},{"name":"Beijing Key Laboratory of Restoration of Damaged Ocular Nerve, Beijing 100191, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tong","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Peking University Third Hospital, Beijing 100191, China"},{"name":"Beijing Key Laboratory of Restoration of Damaged Ocular Nerve, Beijing 100191, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hong","family":"Qi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Peking University Third Hospital, Beijing 100191, China"},{"name":"Beijing Key Laboratory of Restoration of Damaged Ocular Nerve, Beijing 100191, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"807","DOI":"10.18240\/ijo.2022.05.18","article-title":"Prevalence and inconformity of refractive errors and ocular biometry of 3573 medical university freshman students for 4 consecutive years","volume":"15","author":"Gao","year":"2022","journal-title":"Int.
