Mediterranean diet may have protective role in AMD, study finds
NICE, France — The Mediterranean diet, combined with physical exercise, might have a protective role in the development and progression of age-related macular degeneration, according to a Portuguese study. The study, which was the first to specifically evaluate the role of the Mediterranean diet and lifestyle habits in AMD, was developed within the larger epidemiological AMD Coimbra Eye Study, a cross-sectional population-based study including subjects aged 55 years or older from two Portuguese populations, one from a coastal town and one from an inland town.
