Abstract Objective: To investigate the prevalence and related risk factors associated with coronary heart disease（CHD） among middle aged and elderly patients with vision impairment (VI). Study design: cross-sectional research. Methods: The study was conducted with 1,355 visually impaired adults over 45 years old, recruited from a Rehabilitation Hospital in China. Visual impairment is diagnosed by a doctor according to guidelines. Data was analyzed using multiple correspondence and logistic regression analysis. This research represents an important step towards the development of empirically based practical suggestions for decision-makers and health professionals that support visually impaired middle-aged and elderly people to participate in physical exercise and weight management when needed. Results: Of the 1335 middle aged and elderly adults with VI, a total of 154 (11.5%) developed CHD. Statistical analysis based on age grouping indicated that hypertension, diabetes, blindness, gentle and moderate activity were shown to have a strong association with development of CHD. In addition, fasting plasma glucose, heart rate (<60), and BMI were important risk factors for CHD in the middle-aged group and the elderly group respectively.Conclusion: Suggestions for related policy changes should focus on the social and environmental aspects. This includes developing a more accessible and inclusive environments and providing meaningful information about physical activity and weight management to middle-aged and elderly people with visually impaired.

Abstract Aims We estimated the association between outdoor light at night at the residence and risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) within a prospective cohort of older adults in Hong Kong. Methods and results Over a median of 11 years of follow-up, we identified 3772 incident CHD hospitalizations and 1695 CHD deaths. Annual levels of outdoor light at night at participants’ residential addresses were estimated using time-varying satellite data for a composite of persistent night-time illumination at ∼1 km2 scale. We used Cox proportional hazards models to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of the association between outdoor light at night at the residence and risk of CHD. The association between light at night and incident CHD hospitalization and mortality exhibited a monotonic exposure-response function. An interquartile range (IQR) (60.0 nW/cm2/sr) increase in outdoor light at night was associated with an HR of 1.11 (95% CI: 1.03, 1.18) for CHD hospitalizations and 1.10 (95% CI: 1.00, 1.22) for CHD deaths after adjusting for both individual and area-level risk factors. The association did not vary across strata of hypothesized risk factors. Conclusion Among older adults, outdoor light at night at the residence was associated with a higher risk of CHD hospitalizations and deaths. We caution against causal interpretation of these novel findings. Future studies with more detailed information on exposure, individual adaptive behaviours, and potential mediators are warranted to further examine the relationship between light at night and CHD risk.
