Epiblepharon with inverted eyelashes and high body mass index in Japanese children.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the sexual predilection of epiblepharon in Japanese children and the relationship between this condition and body mass index. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Japanese children who were 6 to 14 years old were cross-sectionally surveyed on routine health screening. RESULTS: Of 2,941 children examined, 127 had epiblepharon. The incidence decreased with age. No sexual predilection was found. Lower eyelids were commonly involved bilaterally. Mild complaints included discomfort or foreign body sensation. The body mass index in children 6 to 11 years old with epiblepharon was higher than that in children without epiblepharon. CONCLUSIONS: No sexual predilection was found for epiblepharon. A high body mass index was noted in children with epiblepharon who were 6 to 11 years old.
