statistical analysis of the association between intraocular pressure and age,
systolic blood pressure and obesity index was done on 500 non-glaucomatous,

disclosed that intraocular pressure had positive correlation with systolic
blood pressure and obesity index. Age had a negative correlation with intraocular
pressure from multiple regression analysis.
