Popis: Age-related macular degeneration(ARMD)is a progressive fundus disease which seriously damages the vision and visual function. It is one of the important causes of blindness in the elderly. With the development of aging population, ARMD has become a serious public health problem. With the continuous research of scholars at home and abroad, it is found that ARMD is often affected by a variety of risk factors, such as age, heredity, environment, diet and so on. Understanding the risk factors of ARMD and taking effective preventive measures are of great significance to reduce the incidence of ARMD and delay the disease progression. This article makes a brief review on the risk factors of ARMD.
