Smoking Cessation
"Higher prevalence of cataracts in women was also associated with other modifiable factors, such as smoking and obesity, and with nonmodifiable factors, such as brown eyes, myopia, and high pulse pressure," MedPage Today (6/14, Frieden) reported. Still, "diet was the strongest risk factor related to reduced risk of nuclear cataract in this sample of postmenopausal women," the study "authors noted," adding, "Lifestyle improvements that include healthy diets, smoking cessation, and avoiding obesity may substantively lower the need for and economic burden of cataract surgery in aging American women."

Ophthalmologists

Glaucoma
Ophthalmology
MedPage Today (6/14, Bankhead) reported that, according to a study published in the June issue of the Archives of Ophthalmology, "early manifestations of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) may involve modifiable risk factors, including smoking and HDL cholesterol." In a study of some 3,285 people, researchers found that "11 or more pack-years of smoking increased the risk of early AMD by two-thirds, and every 5 mg/dL increase in HDL lowered the risk by almost 10%." The study authors suggested there may be "a possible window for intervention against modifiable risk factors."
Macular Degeneration
Cataracts
WebMD (6/14, Woznicki) reported that in the first study, "the healthy diet linked to this reduced risk featured high quantities of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein, such as beans, fish, eggs, and low quantities of salt and fat." Notably, "taking multivitamin supplements did not appear to affect cataract risk." The investigators pointed out, however, "that cataract risk was not 'driven by any single dimension of diet.'"
Cataract Surgery

Internal Medicine
The Wall Street Journal (6/15, D4, Hobson) reports that, according to a study published online June 14 in the journal Archives of Internal Medicine, substituting white rice with brown rice may decrease the chances of developing type 2 diabetes. Substituting other whole grains in place of white rice may reduce the risk even further.
