Journal Title: International Journal of Basic and Applied Physiology - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Background: It is a well known fact that there is a significant difference in the color perception amongst the people. This study was done to compare color perception in males and females. Method: It is a cross-sectional, interventional study conducted at Civil Hospital, Ahmedabad. Total 100 healthy medical students (50 males and 50 females) were taken. Farnsworth-Munsell 100-hue test was used to assess color perception. Result: Mean age of males was19.16 with 1.085 SD and mean age of females was 19.86 with 1.83 SD. Favoritecolor in males was blue (40%) and in females was pink (33%).Mean result of FM 100 hue color perception test in males was 43.8 with SD of 28.524 and in females 28.38 with SD of 22.616 with P value 0.0035 indicating a better color perception in females. The mean and SD for myopes were 46.96, 29.309 respectively and for non myopes 25.2, 18.58 respectively with p value <0.0001. So a better color perception in non-myopes. Conclusion: The test value of FM 100 HUE COLOUR PERCEPTION test is more in the males and myopes. So females and non-myopic has better color perception.
