Age Related Macular Degeneration
The Causes
Genes
A healthy lifestyle helps to prevent age related macular degeneration. This is important for the younger relations of age related macular degeneration sufferers:
Smoking
Genes
We inherit these from our parents. Genes are the genetic information that tells our body what chemicals to make. Overall, our genes may contribute to more than 50% of ARMD. This paper suggests that we will soon be able to work out who is at risk...the main genes have been found.
See Gene page The genes that may cause macular degeneration probably control the way used-up chemicals are removed from the eye.
Being long-sighted (hyperopic) is also a risk factor
LifestyleA healthy lifestyle helps to prevent age related macular degeneration. This is important for the younger relations of age related macular degeneration sufferers:
Smoking
- Overall smoking accounts for 32% of ARMD. Even stopping at the age of 80 will reduce the risk of developing the disease.
So if you have a relation with macular degeneration, try and stop as smoking may make it develop earlier.
- Smoking increases the risk of macular degeneration about 3 times. Macular degeneration occurs 10 years earlier in smokers.
- If you have macular degeneration, do try and stop. Even if you are 90 years old stopping smoking will help your eyes considerably.
- Passive smoking is also harmful: for instance, if your partner smokes cigarettes a day, you body receives 25% of the smoke, so that is equivalent to you smoking 5 cigarettes a day. 28000 cases a year in the UK.
See 2002 report and 2003 study . Lithuania Japanese
- A new report here describes the risk of passive smoking (doubles the risk) and personal smoking (triples the risk) of both types of ARMD, that is geographic atrophy and neovascular.
- Each cigarette probably increases the progression rate or ARMD ~15%
- Overall smoking accounts for 32% of ARMD. Even stopping at the age of 80 will reduce the risk of developing the disease.
- Regular Exercise
- 30 minutes a day at least, walking, or more active exercise for younger people, reduces risk by 70% : a 2006 study. Exercise may help by preventing hardening of the arteries.
30 minutes walking a day for example...regular walking, for example, three times a week will result in less than a third of the amount of neovascular ARMD compared to people who don't walk or exercise and who drive everywhere.
- A low blood pressure helps. A level of 140/85 or below is likely to be best. Blood pressure is written as '140/85', with the systolic/diastolic. Above 115 (systolic) the risk of heart disease increases. See the evidence and more.Macular haemorrhages are more likely with high blood pressure. More evidence Eye.
- Obesity is also a risk factor see.
- A low salt diet is important Salt and more than 2 units of alcohol a day may cause blood pressure to rise.
- Alcohol
- Too much may contribute indirectly by increasing blood pressure, and is related to ARMD, see May be red wine (in small amounts) is healthier.Blood pressure rises after drinking (opposite...drinking 4 pints/bottle of wine).
Each gram of alcohol puts systolic blood pressure up 0.24mmmHg, diastolic 0.16 mmHg. This means 1 pint of beer (2 units, each unit 8g alcohol) with 16gm of alcohol, if drunk every day, will put the systolic blood pressure up (16 x 0.25=) 4mmHg. - A healthy diet
Experts recommend a healthy diet. - This should include a variety of vegetables and fruit
(at least 5-9 x 100gm portions/day) ( 2008) - low fat only dairy food
- the minimum of trans and saturated fat
- the minimum of red meat, as part of a balanced diet
- oily fish ...2 small portions a week, Blue Mountain 2009, Australia 09 reduces aging
- 1-2 hours exercise a day
- A low salt diet is important
- Vitamin D reduces risk, (Vitamin D increases with sunilght) Archives 2011
- a Mediterranean or Japanese diet (as was 20years ago) will almost certainly protect.
- Losing weight (if overweight) reduces risk
- Solid fats are harmful Eye 2011
Pulses like beans are fine. Bread, pasta, rice and potatoes provide ‘energy’.
Vegetarians have lower blood pressures and healthier lipid levels, see . A healthy diet reduces homocysteine levels, which are associated with ARMD .
Certainly saturated fats increase the risk of ARMD; and fish and polyunsaturated fats halve the risk. Avoiding certain fats helps, with strong evidence here (explained more clearly here for heart disease). Nuts may help prevent ARMD (small amounts...they are fattening).
5-9 portions of fruit/vegetables a day, with portions of different colours 5 is a minimum..best 9 for men, 7 women, 5 children, see.See some epidemiology- This should include a variety of vegetables and fruit
- Vitamins
- If you are unable to eat this many vegetables, low dose multivitamin tablets may help, but too many vitamins may be harmful. Lack of vitamins has been linked to macular degenerationSome research suggests that the pigments in vegetables, lutein, and two types ofzeoxanthin might be helpful, as these are the pigments found in the healthy macula.Lutein is in most fruits and vegetables, one type of zeoxanthine is in corn, nectarines and oranges (and other yellow/orange fruits/vegetable), but one type is not normally present in the diet. However, some supplements include doses that are too high, so once again, these are probably best as part of a healthy diet.'Ocuvite-Lutein' is one preparation that may help. One paper suggested zinc may be helpful, but only in low dose, and is probably best as part of a healthy diet.
ICap (Alcon), is available in pharmacies and optometrists. This has lutein and other vitamins in, and had been recommended by some ophthalmologists. Beta-carotene supplements are not recommended for smokers, as they may contribute to lung cancer. I Cap is similar to the AREDS vitamins that reduced ARMD risk by 28%.These supplements may not help (see), as some experts advise that people with a healthy diet may be harmed by taking vitamin supplements. A review (2006, Drug and Therapeutics Bulletin, not free online) recommmeded a healthy diet including green vegetables diet was preferable to supplements.Oily Fish
If you have a healthy diet, ophthalmologists disagree.
Oily fish twice a week reduces ARMD by 40%, especially oily fish such as tuna, mackerel, sardines, herring, and salmon. A Japanese diet may be helpful as above. Other omega 3 fats are helpful
Cholesterol
ARMD is commoner in people with higher cholesterol levels. Atherosclerosis, caused by a high cholesterol, does contribute to ARMD, seeStatin treatment reduces macular degeneration. See see, Although statin tablets are not yet formally recommended by all agencies, this author would recommend them for people with ARMD.
This paper & another found no benefit, so it is difficult to be certain.Naturally all relatives of ARMD patients should address this issue of fat levels in the blood, sticking to a low fat diet with plenty of exercise, avoiding obesity, just as described on this page for ARMD patients.Pathology
Age-related macular degeneration is explained in more detail on other web-sites, such as the RNIB and NIH. This is an excellent animation: www.eyesight.org. Below is a brief description.Age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) is usually a progressive condition.Dry ARMD progresses over many years. See dry ARMD page. Sight does deteriorate, but most people manage to cope well, although reading is difficult and life may be different. In some types of dry ARMD progression may be very slow, but it may be quicker in other types.Dry ARMD may progress to the 'wet type', but this is not always the case.Wet ARMD begins as new vessels growth in the macular area, causing retinal leakage and swelling. See wet ARMD page. It progresses to cause a scar in the macular area. If the scar is small, sight is reasonable; if large, the sight can be very poor.Imagine your retina has five layers. Normally this retinal appearance stays constant even in old age, but changes may develop as you get older.

Marcello Mastroianni
Marcello Mastroianni
Why He’s A Style Icon
There is always so much emphasis on style, colour and gratuitous detailing in men’s clothing that it can be easy to forget about the most important element of a garment — its cut. Fit is everything in menswear. It isn’t about the fabric, the designer label or how much cash you had to drop to get your hands on it. The fact of the matter is, when clothing fits properly, everything else just falls into place. Perhaps that’s why Italians like Marcello Mastroianni are the best style icons: they never focus on labels. Clothes simply need to fit, so that if they found their way on a body other than your own, they wouldn’t look quite right.
Marcello Mastroianni is the quintessential example of the sartorial Italian; he was dressed to perfection without ever looking overly styled. It should be no surprise that an actor who had leading roles in films with names like La dolce vita (The Sweet Life) and Pret-a-Porter (Ready-to-Wear) was able to walk the walk when it came to dressing. And indeed, he did it with a well-deserved swagger. A simple black suit, white French-cuffed shirt and black necktie were all he needed to look devastatingly dapper in every situation. Mastroianni’s best moment, however, had little to do with tailored clothing. His lead role in Federico Fellini’s autobiographical metafilm Otto e mezzo (8 ½) featured him wearing dark, chunky rectangular sunglasses. The somewhat Bono-esque shades were so forward that it almost looked out of place. But that’s the bravado of Italian style, and in a nutshell, it is Mastroianni’s commentary on fashion: It doesn’t matter what you wear, only how you wear it.
Dress The Mastroianni Way
Emulating Marcello Mastroianni’s sense of style may at first glance seem rather easy, but finding clothes that fit correctly takes time and effort. Too many men are guilty of buy-without-try. Making a clothing purchase based on the size you think you are without giving it a test drive in the fitting room is the fastest way t0 building a wardrobe that is a complete disaster. Every garment is unique and fits differently based on where it was made, its fabric content and ultimately its construction. A size 40 regular suit from Armani doesn’t fit the same way as one from Zegna or Hugo Boss, and there may even be slight variations within each designer’s label. The same is true in sportswear for everything from T-shirts to jeans. Once you find something that fits like a glove, don’t be afraid to replicate it and buy it in every colour and style. Creating something that is almost like a personal uniform can help anchor your look and develop a foundation from which to grow and experiment. Marcello Mastroianni understood this cardinal rule of men’s dress. A basic black suit in the most flattering of cuts, a French-cuffed dress shirt and a simple black tie can be your everyday go-to look for the office. If you lead a more relaxed lifestyle, swap the suit trousers for a pair of refined, slim-cut denim. Jeans may not be exactly how Mastroianni would have done things, but he would certainly agree that having clothes that fit and wearing them with confidence is the only way to truly get a taste of la dolce vita.Get the designer glasses online
