Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
The multifactorial nature of cataractogenesis has been further exposed in recent epidemiologic studies, most efficiently by four case-control studies. The factors found include various plasma constituents, steroids, alcohol, diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and obesity. Further examination of dietary factors leaves confusion as to their role in the prevention of cataract. |
