Activity Outline
To celebrate Macula Month, Macular Disease Foundation Australia (MDFA) has launched updated nutrition guidelines for age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The new guidelines suggest eating patterns, such as Mediterranean or Asian diets – rather than specific foods – may be a key to AMD prevention and progression. And there’s new evidence that drinking alcohol is a risk factor for developing AMD.
Learning Objectives
- Understand the latest evidence linking diet and prevention/progression of AMD
- Realise how a systematic review of epidemiological studies can be used to distinguish between convincing and probable evidence and how this translates to nutrition guidelines
- Provide evidence-based nutrition advice for people at risk of AMD, and
- Understand the mechanisms of action for how diet and nutrients may protect against the onset of AMD
