“…reported that for every increase in daily vitamin C and vitamin A consumption by 500-mg and 5 mg, respectively, the risk of ARC decreases by 18% and 6%, respectively (38). In another study, lower intake of vitamin A and vitamin C than estimated average requirements, based on dietary reference intakes for Koreans, increased the odds of ARC (1.89 and 2.06 respectively) in crude (not adjusted) model (39). Theodoropoulou and colleagues found an inverse association between intake of sh, vegetables, fruits, potatoes, carotene, vitamins C and E, unlike meat, total fat, and cholesterol, and risk of ARC (40).…”

“…Accumulation of free radicals in eye lens have been implicated in development of ARC through disturbing the normal function and structural integrity of the region. Plant-based foods, rich in bioactive phytochemicals and anti-oxidative vitamins, scavenge the UV exposure-induced excessive free radicals, therefore these functional foods alleviate the oxidative damage and morphological changes of eye lens (13,38,39,46). Also, high content of omega-3 nd in sh may attenuate in ammatory responses by modulating prostaglandin metabolism (47).…”

Background Age-related cataract (ARC) is a multifactorial and progressive disease that causes blindness globally. Dietary antioxidants like vitamins and carotenoids have been reported to attenuate oxidative stress the main cause of ARC. However, the association between adherence to dietary healthy dietary patterns and ARC has yet to be understood. Since, adherence to Nordic diet style measured by two indices including Healthy Nordic Food Index (HNFI) and Baltic Sea Dietary Score (BSDS) was associated to some chronic diseases, in this study we aimed to investigate the association between HNFI and BSDS and the odds of ARC in a case-control study, in Iran. Methods This hospital-based case-control study was conducted on 98 patients with cataract and 198 healthy controls selected based inclusion criteria. A valid 168-item food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) was used to assess dietary intake over last year. To investigate the association between HNFI and BSDS and risk of ARC, the logistic regression tests was performed. Results Individuals in case and control groups were significantly different in body mass index (BMI), history of diabetes, hypertension and family history of hypertension. The intake of vitamin C, vitamin A and vitamin D showed significant difference between two groups of study. The adherence to BSDS and HNFI were associated with lower risk of ARC in crude and adjusted models. After adjustment for potential cofounders, participants in the highest tertile of HNFI and BSDS (compared to the lowest tertile) had 99.1% and 74% lower ARC risk (OR = 0.09; 95% CI = 0.03–0.22 and OR = 0.26; 95% CI = 0.11–0.58, respectively). Conclusion Our results support previous findings on protective effects of dietary patterns rich in antioxidant on cataract. Adherence to Nordic eating style measured by BSDS and HNFI consist of fruits and root vegetables, whole grain, fish and health fats may reduce risk of ARC.

“…The results are close to the current RNIs (Recommend) of Chinese children (360 µg RAE/d for the children aged 4–6 y, and 500 µg RAE/d for the children aged 7–11 y) [ 3 ], but lower than the RDAs of U.S. children (400 µg RAE/d for the children aged 4–8 y, and 600 µg RAE/d for the children aged 9–13 y) [ 6 , 7 ]. We also compared the results with that of the other Asian countries, Japan (450 µg RE/d for the children aged 3–8 y, and 500 µg RE/d for the children aged 8–10 y) [ 35 ], and Korean (400 µg RE/d for the children aged 6–8 y, and 500 µg RE/d (girls), 550 µg RE/d (boys) for the children aged 9–11 y) [ 36 , 37 ], and found that the results were relatively close.…”

Dietary vitamin A intakes of chinese children with adequate liver stores as assessed by the retinol isotope dilution technique

et al. 2022

Background We attempted to estimate dietary vitamin A requirements based on dietary vitamin A intake in well-nourished Chinese children with adequate liver vitamin A reserves. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted in a kindergarten and an elementary school in Shiyan city, Hubei province of China from December 2009 to July 2010. After screening, 60 children (22 aged 4 ~ 6 y and 38 aged 7 ~ 9 y) were randomly subjected to a 3-d or 18-d deuterated-retinol-dilution (DRD) procedure to evaluate the vitamin A reserves in the body and liver. Dietary intakes of vitamin A were estimated from two (one in winter and one in summer) consecutive 3-day weighed food records and dietary recalls. Results The dietary vitamin A intakes were significantly correlated with vitamin A stores in the body and liver, but not with the serum level of retinol. The dietary vitamin A intakes were 476.9 ± 196.7 µg retinol equivalent (RE) (or 377.7 ± 166.2 µg retinol activity equivalent (RAE)) / day for 4 ~ 6 y children and 529.1 ± 87.2 µg RE/d (or 464.0 ± 81.1 µg RAE/d) for 7 ~ 9 y children with adequate liver vitamin A reserves. The estimated liver stores of vitamin A derived from both time points (3-d and 18-d) were similar. Conclusion Adequate dietary vitamin A intakes among the well-nourished Chinese children were estimated to be 477 µg RE/d (95%CI 385 ~ 570) or 378 µg RAE/d (95%CI 304 ~ 441) for 4 ~ 6 y children and 529 µg RE/d (95%CI 500 ~ 560) or 464 µg RAE/d (95%CI 437 ~ 491) for 7 ~ 9 y children. Although it needs to be verified in a larger population of different regions in China, our results provide important data to establish the dietary requirement of vitamin A specifically for Chinese children.

“…Numerous studies indicate that there is a link between dietary habits and the development of cataracts. The antioxidant properties of vitamins C and E could have a protective role against the development and progression of cataracts [ 8 - 10 ]. Also, it is suggested that the carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin, which are antioxidants, may have a protective role against cataracts [ 11 , 12 ].…”

Background: Cataracts are the main cause of visual impairment among the aging population, with a high impact on patients’ quality of life. It has been suggested that the antioxidant carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin may play a role in cataract prevention. Recently, significant evidence has associated abnormal glucose metabolism with an increased likelihood of the development of cataracts. Aim: The current study aims to assess the relationship between nutrition and cataracts among adults in the Aseer Region, Saudi Arabia. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted targeting all accessible patients diagnosed with cataracts at Aseer Central Hospital during the period from August 8, 2019, to March 3, 2021, and at Khamis Mushayt General Hospital during the period from June 11, 2018, to March 3, 2021. Data were collected using a pre-structured data collection sheet that covered patients’ socio-demographic data, including age, gender, education, work type, and marital status. Also, the type of cataract diagnosed for the study patients was recorded with associated risk factors of cataracts, including chronic diseases, trauma, eye surgery, and family history. The last section covered patients’ dietary habits and frequency of dietary intake. Results: A total of 140 patients with cataracts who fulfilled the inclusion criteria were included in the study. Patients' ages ranged from 21 to 65 years, with a mean age of 54.2 ± 12.9 years old. Additionally, 12.1% of the study patients were smokers, 44.3% were diagnosed with hypertension, and 45% were diabetic, which was type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) among 36.5% and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) among 52.4%. A family history of congenital cataracts was reported among 12.9%, and 12.9% had a history of eye trauma. Moreover, 37.1% of the study patients had vegetables once per week. Eating fruits or having juice was reported as once per week among 40% of the study patients and three times per week among 20%. Finally, 31.4% take nutritional supplements or vitamins. Conclusion: There is currently an inquiry to endorse or exclude a specific diet or dietary intake that may reduce or even prevent the development and progression of cataracts. It appears beneficial for people to have some antioxidants in their daily food.
