CEUTA OPHTHALMOLOGY EYE: THE VITAMIN B6, B12 and Folic Acid CAN REDUCE THE RISK OF MACULAR DEGENERATION ASSOCIATED WITH AGE IN WOMEN

















A study published in the journal Archives of Internal Medicine seems to show that the daily diet supplemented with Folic Acid, Pyridoxine and Cyanocobalamin seems reduce the risk of macular degeneration associated with age in women with cardiovascular disease risk.

Epidemiological studies indicate an association between elevated levels homocysteine \u200b\u200b blood and the risk of wet AMD , so researchers Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard Medical School in Boston, Massachusetts, and colleagues from the Women's Antioxidant and Folic Acid Cardiovascular Study have examined results of the incidence of wet AMD in women with elevated homocysteine \u200b\u200blevels which has been treated combined with folic acid, pyridoxine (B6) and cyanocobalamin (B12) , compared with placebo. The average duration of follow up was 7.3 years.

finally The results showed a lower incidence of wet AMD in the treated group, statistically significant, reducing the risk of it.

Since there are currently no meansof prevent AMD in the initial stages, except the strict smoking ban, these results become important clinically and should be confirmed in other populations of men and women.
