Abstract

|
|
This study was conducted to investigate the effect of the differences in nutrient intakes on the onset ofeye disease in the ophthalmic disease group vs. the normal group. The analysis method of this study wasperformed by adjusting age and gender. The daily caloric intake was 1,672.1±26.4 kcal in the ophthalmic diseasegroup which was significantly lower than the 2,041.5±13.6 kcal intake in the normal group (P=0.006).
The intake of proteins (P=0.015) and carbohydrates (P=0.000) was significantly lower in the ophthalmic diseasegroup than in the normal group. The incidence of eye diseases was found to decrease by about 0.79(95% CI: 0.74∼0.83) times as the NAR index of protein was increased, followed by 0.79 (95% CI: 0.64∼0.98) times with an increase in niacin consumption. In this study, income, BMI, smoking, alcohol consumption,and quality of life were considered as the confounding variables related to eye disease, along with age andgender, but did not lead to show significant results. It was found that the ophthalmic disease group had anunbalanced nutritional intake compared to the normal group. Therefore, we conclude that nutrition education isnecessary to ensurebalanced eating habits for management and prevention of degeneration after the onset of eye diseases.
