Risk Factors for Age-Related Maculopathy
Age-related maculopathy (ARM) is the leading cause of blindness in the elderly. Although beneficial therapeutic strategies have recently begun to emerge, much remains unclear regarding the etiopathogenesis of this disorder. Epidemiologic studies have enhanced our understanding of ARM, but the data, often conflicting, has led to difficulties with drawing firm conclusions with respect to risk for...
متن کاملDiet and risk factors for age-related maculopathy.
BACKGROUND Evidence continues to accumulate that oxidative stress is etiologically important in the pathogenesis of age-related maculopathy (ARM) and that appropriate antioxidants of dietary origin may protect against this condition. OBJECTIVE Risk factors for ARM may be classed as established or putative. We report a study designed to investigate whether such risk factors are associated with...

متن کاملEstimated Prevalence and Risk Factor for Age-related Maculopathy
PURPOSE To assess the estimate prevalence and risk factors for age-related maculopathy (ARM) in Seoul, Korea. PATIENTS AND METHODS We examined 9,530 subjects with, 40 years of age or older between January 2006 and December 2006 in Seoul, Korea.

متن کاملRisk factors for age-related maculopathy are associated with a relative lack of macular pigment.
Macular pigment (MP) is composed of the two dietary carotenoids lutein (L) and zeaxanthin (Z), and is believed to protect against age-related maculopathy (ARM). This study was undertaken to investigate MP optical density with respect to risk factors for ARM, in 828 healthy subjects from an Irish population. MP optical density was measured psychophysically using heterochromatic flicker photometr...
