Periodontal Disease and age-related macular degeneration

By April 20, 2015December 3rd, 2024No Comments

A recent study associated age-related macular degeneration with periodontal disease:

  • Researchers evaluated 8208 adults aged ≥40 years to determine the association of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) with periodontal disease and found that patients aged ≤60 years with periodontal disease had an increased risk for AMD (P = .006).
  • Researchers suggest that further investigation of periodontal disease with AMD as well as reduction of periodontal disease risk is needed.
