DO YOU KNOW?
Chicago - Two nutrients found in eggs, spinach and other leafy green vegetables offer some protection against the most common cause of blindness among the elderly, researchers said.
Age-related macular degeneration ("AMD") affects 1.2 million Americans, mostly after age 65, and the irreversible condition gets gradually worse, robbing victims of the centre of their vision.
Many people may be susceptible due to genetic factors while smoking is known to heighten the risk.
The two nutrients, lutein and zeaxanthin, are both carotenoids - compounds that give many fruits and vegetables a yellow colour.
They help ward off the condition, apparently by allowing the eyes to filter harmful short-wavelength light and by curtailing other damaging effects to the macula, or the centre of the eye's retina.
No clear associations with other nutrients were seen,including the vitamins C and E and beta-carotene, according to the researchers, led by John Paul SanGiovianni of the National Eye Institute, one of the National Institutes of Health in Maryland.
The six-year study asked about the dietary habits of 4,519 people aged 60 to 80 when enrolled.
Those in the top fifth of dietary consumption of foods containing the two nutrients had 35 percent less chance of developing the condition compared to those in the lowest fifth of comsumption.
"Lutein and zeaxanthin may be considered as useful agents in food or supplement-based interventions designed to reduce the risk of AMD," reported and published in the journal Archives of Ophthalmology.
