| Summary: |
Age-related macular
degeneration (AMD) is a leading cause of irreversible
loss of central vision in developing countries. Study of
risk factors seems to be more significant because of the
lack of effective treatment. Exact recognition
especially of modifiable risk factors of AMD development
could increase prevention and decrease development and
progression.
The aim of our study was to evaluate selected modifiable
and non-modifiable risk factors of AMD. The examination
included 44 AMD patients and 30 healthy subjects in
control group. In both groups age, sex, eye color,
smoking, UV exposition, blood pressure, cholesterol
level, type of diet, family history of AMD and cataract
surgeries in anamnesis, were defined. The most
significant risk factors of AMD development, in
presented study were female gender and UV exposition.
They increased a risk accordingly 1.55 and 3 times. Iris
color and low vitamin and high fat intake in diet were
also essential. There was no dependence on approved risk
factor such smoking and AMD appearance. |
