Aims: To determine the correlation among the mongolians aged 50 and older for compare some biochemical results of blood and types of the senile cataract. Methods: Total 80 patients with cataract and aged over 50 were case-based selected for the study from November 2010 to November 2011 at the Department of Ophthalmology ofFirst Central Hospital of Mongolia. There had been collected according to the questionnaire of risks, and records of biochemical examination. Eye examinations had been performed lenses evaluated with the biomicroscope and determined the lens opacities rightly to Lens Opacities Classification Systems-III (LOCS III, the international standard classification). And we used SPSS 16.0, Statistical software version 6.0 for analyzing data. Results: The mean age of all participants was 70 (±9.36) years and 56.2% were female, 43.8% males. The study shows that cataract types: nuclear was 48.8%, cortical 10%, posterior subcapsular (PSC) 41.2%. The hypertriglyceridemia (≥2.26 mmol/L) was associated with PSC (p = 0.025). There was no statistically significant association between blood glucose and cholesterol level and senile cataract. Conclusion: Nuclear cataract was the most common type of senile cataracts in Mongolia.
