Dietary Patterns and Age-Related Macular Degeneration
Abstract
Abstract Research shows that abundant intake of vegetables, fruits, and fatty fish, containing antioxidative or inflammatory properties such as carotenoids and polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acids appears to have positive effects on AMD. In this chapter, we provide an overview of current concepts on single nutrients versus dietary patterns, the effects of different dietary patterns and AMD, and general dietary guidelines for a healthy lifestyle and AMD.
