چکیده: (645 مشاهده)
The leading cause of global blindness is cataract, which affects 70 million people worldwide, a number expected to rise with an aging population. In vitro and animal studies indicate that nutritional deficiencies contribute to age-related cataracts (ARC) while suggesting that dietary interventions may mitigate the risk. The complex relationship between ARC and specific nutrients in humans is difficult to validate due to various factors like diet diversity and compliance. Recent research expands beyond antioxidants to examine carbohydrates, fatty acids, proteins, carotenoids, and diet types like the Mediterranean diet and high dairy intake. Understanding nutrition's role in cataract formation remains an ongoing challenge. Methods: This narrative review aims to combine findings from studies that analyzed the impact of specific dietary patterns, foods, and nutrients on the development or progression of ARC. Results: The review methodically assesses 24 articles. The results suggest notable protective effects associated with various dietary patterns such as the Korean balanced diet, vegetarian diet, "dairy products and vegetables," "traditional," "antioxidant," and "omega-3" patterns. Moreover, consumption of vegetables, fruits, nuts, legumes, skimmed yogurt, coffee, and vitamins appears to correlate positively with reduced incidence of cataracts. Conclusion: More investigations are deemed essential to deepen our understanding of these relationships and formulate consistent dietary recommendations for both at-risk populations and individuals already diagnosed with ARC.
