Based on the World Health Organization (WHO) data, cataracts can cause blindness in more than 17 million people in the world. Factors that can affect the development rate of opacity of the lens such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension, certain medications, the B ultra violet rays from sunlight, toxic effects of smoking, alcohol, less vitamin E, and chronic inflammation in the eyeball.

There is no meaningful relation between senile cataract and hypertension (p = 0,068; OR = 1,084; 95% CI = 0,589-1,995). There is no meaningful relation between senile cataract and diabetes mellitus (p = 1.808; OR = 1,876; 95% CI = 0,741-4,747). There is no meaningful relation between senile cataract and gender (p = 0.51; OR = 0,933; 95% CI = 0,514-1,696). There is no meaningful relation between the senile cataract and age (p = 0,784; OR = 1,319; 95% CI; 0,714-2,437). There is no meaningful relation between senile cataract and hypertension. There is no meaningful relation between senile cataract and diabetes mellitus. There is no meaningful relation between senile cataract and gender.
