Abstract

This study investigates the potential correlation between serum Vitamin D levels and the prevalence or severity of Age‐Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) a leading cause of vision loss in the elderly. Existing literature suggests a possible link between Vitamin D and various eye conditions, including AMD. To examine the association between serum Vitamin D levels and AMD in an elderly population. To identify if Vitamin D levels are a predictor of the severity of AMD. Study design crosssectional analysis. Sample size 200 participants aged 50 and above. Data collection serum vitamin D levels measured through blood tests and AMD diagnosis confirmed through retinal examinations. Statistical analysis utilization of regression models to analyze the relationship between vitamin D levels and AMD presence/severity.Demographics participant demographics including age, gender, and general health status. Vitamin D Levels and AMD Correlation analysis of vitamin D levels in participants with and without AMD and the severity of AMD in relation to vitamin D deficiency. Statistical significance assessment of the statistical significance of the findings. Our analysis contributes to the growing body of evidence suggesting a link between vitamin D and ocular health, specifically in the context of age‐related macular degeneration. This underscores the importance of considering nutritional factors as part of a holistic approach to AMD prevention and treatment strategies.
