It may be that the Mediterranean diet, rich in sources of alpha-linolenic acid which is thought to protect against coronary disease,lo plays a role in reducing the risk of nuclear cataract amongst SE as compared with Au and NE. Genetic predisposition has been reported only for age-related ...
The co-existence of cataract and ARM was almost entirely explained by the age-related increase in prevalence of both conditions. We found no evidence of a consistent relationship between cortical, nuclear or PSC cataract or history of past cataract surgery and either late or early ARM, after ...
