Antioxidants lower macular degeneration risk

Antioxidants lower macular degeneration risk

A report published in the December 28, 2005 issue of the Journal of the
American Medical Association concluded that individuals whose diets
contain high amounts of the antioxidants beta-carotene, vitamin C,
vitamin E and zinc have a significantly lower risk of developing
age-related macular degeneration (AMD) than people whose diets contain
lower levels of the nutrients. Age-related macular degeneration is the
most common cause of permanent blindness in the developed world. The
current study included 4,176 men at women at risk of AMD who were
participants in the Rotterdam Study, which enrolled 7,983 men and women
aged 55 or older. Five hundred-sixty subjects were diagnosed with new
macular degeneration during the follow-up period. Participants with an
above-median intake of all 4 nutrients, beta carotene, vitamin C,
vitamin E, and zinc, had a 35% reduced risk of AMD compared to those
whose intake of any of the nutrients was below average. The results of
this study suggest that high dietary intakes of antioxidants, in
particular vitamin E and zinc, may reduce the risk of AMD and delay its
development. JAMA 2005;294:3101-3107
