Higher glycated hemoglobin (A1C) levels (> 7%) and disease duration are also associated with an increased risk of DME. .Another pathology that has a very high epidemiological importance is age macular degeneration (AMD). AMD is the leading cause of irreversible blindness in adults over 50 years old. Genetic, epidemiological, and molecular studies are beginning to unravel the intricate mechanisms underlying this complex disease, which implicate the lipid-cholesterol pathway in the pathophysiology of disease development and progression. Many of the genetic and environmental risks associated with AMD are also associated with other complex degenerative diseases of advanced age, including cardiovascular disease (CVD). AMD is a progressive blinding disease with no cure at present. In its most advanced stages, it deprives an individual of his or her ability to perform basic activities such as reading | 出版日期 | Living reference work 2025Latest edition | 关键词 | retina; choroid; inherited retinal dystrophies; retina electrophysiology; optical coherence tomography; r | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-29358-0 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-031-29358-0 |
