Abstract in brief

  • AMD is a common eye condition affecting those over 50, where antioxidants might help protect the retina from damage caused by free radicals.
  • A systematic review included 26 randomized controlled trials with nearly 12,000 participants, finding that those who took antioxidant vitamins had a lower risk of progressing to late AMD compared to those who did not.
  • Specifically, in people with early AMD, taking supplements could potentially prevent about four cases of progression to late AMD for every 1,000 individuals, highlighting the benefits of antioxidant supplementation.

有難うございます。引用の文献は古いものでPHS 2の結果しか見ていません。新しいのはこちらで（https://t.co/FVfBen3V50）、どちらかというと予防効果を示唆しています。 マルチビタミンは今のところ明らかな副作用がなく、弱いがん予防効果があるという認識です。 https://t.co/I4QOUYhxc5
