Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) affects 12.7 million people in Europe and North America (Klein et al., 1995 Klein et al. 1999). As a combination of decreasing birth rate and increasing longevity alter the demographic of the population, the impact of this disease can only increase. This places an immense burden, not only on the individuals afflicted by the condition, but on the financial resources of society as a whole. Unfortunately, treatment for AMD is still very restricted, and even our understanding of the pathogenesis of the disease is far from complete One concern in tackling the

The aim of this thesis was to investigate the prevalence and impact of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) causing visual impairment in people aged 75 years and above in the UK. A secondary objective was to investigate a small number of potential risk factors for AMD. This was an add-on study to the MRC Trial of the Assessment and Management of Older People in the Community. The prevalence of AMD causing visual impairment was estimated at 3.7% (95% confidence interval 3.2% to 4.2%) in people aged 75 years and above. This prevalence increased sharply with age. There was a higher risk of AMD

Annotation:

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the most common cause of irreversible blindness in older Americans. There has been a long standing interest in the role of diet in the development of AMD. As early as the first National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey in the 1970s, higher intakes of fruits and vegetables were inversely correlated with the prevalence of AMD. Carotenoids and omega3 fatty acids are the most studied dietary factors due to strong biological plausibility. However, evidence from epidemiologic studies and clinical trials on the relations has been inconsistent. Chapter

An estimated 170.38 million elderly adults suffer from some stage of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) worldwide, a vision defect that damages the macula, the central region of the retina required for sharp vision, such as reading, driving, and recognizing faces. Genetic factors strongly modify one's risk for developing AMD, and most of these genetic changes are found in genes of the alternative complement cascade, a component of the immune system. The lack of effective AMD prevention calls for the identification of druggable molecules and pathways. In my research, I use microarrays and R

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a progressive and degenerative disease affecting the macula lutea. Late stages include neovascular AMD (nAMD), which represents the most severe form of the disease and is characterized by the abnormal growth of newly formed blood vessels from the pre-existing choroidal vessels. Neovascularization breaks through Bruchʼs membrane reaching the retina where bleeding, fluids extravasation and a chronic inflammatory reaction eventually cause severe vision loss, up to blindness if left untreated.

The prevalence of this disease will continue to increase over the coming decades as the average age of the global population rises. There is consequently an urgent need to develop tests that are sensitive to early visual dysfunction, in order to identify individuals that have a high risk of developing AMD, to identify patients that would benefit from treatment, to assess the outcomes of that treatment and to evaluate emerging treatment strategies.

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a major cause of irreversible central sight loss in the elderly.

In some complex diseases, metabolomics, which involves the identification of a metabolic fingerprint in a biofluid or tissue, has been shown to discriminate metabolic changes associated with different disease processes and to identify specific phenotypes.

An ageing population has raised the priority of reducing the risk for age-related eye diseases that impair sight and quality of life. Chief among these diseases is age- related macular degeneration (AMD), the leading cause of visual impairment among older adults in the developed world. The dietary xanthophylls lutein and zeaxanthin may be effective at attenuating the risk and/or progression of AMD due to their antioxidant and photo-protective properties in the macula, where they are known as the macular pigment.

This pathology may be initiated by proteins capable of activating endothelial cells to become angiogenic or inflammatory, later causing them to grow abnormally.
