Research indicates a relationship between [[Body mass index|body mass index (BMI)]] and myopia, with both low and high BMI associated with an increased risk of developing myopia. A nationwide study of 1.3 million Israeli adolescents found that individuals with [[underweight]] status had higher chances of mild-to-moderate and high myopia compared to those with low-normal BMI.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Peled |first1=Alon |last2=Nitzan |first2=Itay |last3=Megreli |first3=Jacob |last4=Derazne |first4=Estela |last5=Tzur |first5=Dorit |last6=Pinhas-Hamiel |first6=Orit |last7=Afek |first7=Arnon |last8=Twig |first8=Gilad |date=August 2022 |title=Myopia and BMI: a nationwide study of 1.3 million adolescents |url=https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35894082/ |journal=Obesity |volume=30 |issue=8 |pages=1691–1698 |doi=10.1002/oby.23482 |issn=1930-739X |pmid=35894082}}</ref>
