摘要
老年性黄斑变性(AMD)是老年人的主要致盲性疾病之一。叶黄素作为高能量蓝光滤过器和抗氧化剂,能保护黄斑区和视网膜免受光损伤。通过食用各类水果、蔬菜和鱼类增加叶黄素摄入量可预防AMD。
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of blindness in the elderly. Lutein, an anti-oxidative nutrient, is beneficial for the prevention of AMD and possibly cataract. Fruits, vegetables, and fishes are main sources of lutein.
