白内障,定义为晶状体的混浊,阻止清晰的视力,是全球范围内视力丧失和损害的主要原因。老年人占患有这种眼病的人的比例最高。根据美国国立卫生研究院(NIH),患老年性白内障(ARC)的风险随着生命的每十年而增加,从40岁开始。尽管手术治疗方法取得了进展,改变生活方式可能对预防或减缓ARC的进展有益.这篇系统的综述旨在总结关于特定营养模式的意义的研究,膳食产品,维生素,矿物,和类胡萝卜素的摄入在ARC的发作或进展。在这种情况下,这篇论文彻底分析了24篇文章,遵循PRISMA准则。结果表明,各种膳食模式具有显著的保护作用,包括韩国均衡饮食,素食,“乳制品和蔬菜”,\"传统\",“抗氧化剂”,和“omega-3”模式。此外,水果的消费,蔬菜,豆类,坚果,脱脂酸奶,鱼,咖啡,和维生素对白内障的发病率显示出积极的影响。因此,进一步的研究似乎对于更好地了解这些关联以及为脆弱人群和ARC患者制定统一的饮食建议至关重要.
Cataract, defined as the opacification of the lens that prevents clear vision, is a leading cause of vision loss and impairment worldwide. Elderly people comprise the highest proportion of those suffering from this eye disease. According to the National Institute of Health (NIH), the risk of developing aged-related cataract (ARC) increases with every decade of life, starting from the age of 40. Despite progress in surgical treatment methods, life-style modifications may be beneficial in prevention or slowing down the progression of ARC. This systematic review aims to summarize studies on the significance of specific nutritional patterns, dietary products, vitamins, minerals, and carotenoids intake in the onset or progression of ARC. In this context, the presented paper thoroughly analyzes 24 articles, following the PRISMA guidelines. The results indicate significant protective effects of various dietary patterns, including the Korean balanced diet, vegetarian diet, \"dairy products and vegetables\", \"traditional\", \"antioxidant\", and \"omega-3\" patterns. Additionally, the consumption of fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, skimmed yoghurt, fish, coffee, and vitamins has shown positive effects on cataract incidence. Therefore, further research seems to be essential to gain a better understanding of these associations and to create uniform dietary recommendations for both the vulnerable population and ARC patients.
