Among participants with high genetic risk, the highest intake tertile of LZ was associated with a >20% reduced risk of early AMD, and weekly consumption of fish was associated with a 40% reduced risk of late AMD. No similar association was evident among participants with low genetic risk. No interaction was detected between ß-carotene or vitamin C and genetic risk status. Conclusions Protection against AMD from greater LZ and fish consumption in persons with high genetic risk based on 2 major AMD genes raises the possibility of personalized preventive interventions.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:52:47 AEDT ]]> The long-term relation among retinal arteriolar narrowing, blood pressure, and incident severe hypertension https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:5222 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:44:21 AEDT ]]> Risk of age-related macular degeneration 4 to 5 years after cataract surgery https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:28220 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:28:30 AEDT ]]> Five-year progression of unilateral age-related macular degeneration to bilateral involvement: the three continent AMD consortium report https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:31934 complement factor H and age-related maculopathy susceptibility 2 genes (compared with none, OR 1.76 for 1 risk allele and OR 3.34 for 2+ risk alleles), smoking (compared with non-smokers, OR 1.64 for past and OR 1.67 for current smokers), and the presence of large drusen area or retinal pigmentary abnormalities in the first eye. Conclusion: One in four to one in five unilateral any AMD cases, and up to one in two unilateral late AMD cases, progressed to bilateral in 5 years.
