Age-related macular degeneration and cardiovascular disease in US population: an observational study

CONCLUSIONS: Within this study, preventing the development of AMD might cut down the incidence of several CVDs, in particular, significantly lowering the stroke risk. These findings indicate that interventions to prevent AMD may also help to prevent CVDs. In general, late AMD has a more severe impact on the risk of CVDs compared with early AMD. These results could help clinical ophthalmology and cardiovascular medicine in their clinical education and interventions.PMID:38126346 | DOI:10.1080/00015385.2023.2295103
