    Refractive error is a prevalent ocular disorder in children, with myopia rates among Chinese children reaching 51.9% in 2022.

  • 2

    Early-onset myopia increases the risk of severe vision-threatening conditions, highlighting the need for identifying modifiable risk factors.

  • 3

    The study analyzed 1,260 children aged 7-10 years to explore associations between physical development and refractive errors.

  • 4

    Anthropometric measurements such as height-for-age z-score and body mass index z-score may enhance assessments of physical development.

  • 5

    The study aims to contribute to understanding myopia etiology by examining the correlation between physical growth and ocular parameters.
