There has been a growing body of evidence associating consumption of ultra-processed foods (UPF) with adverse health outcomes including depression, cardiovascular disease, dementia, and all-cause mortality. Age-elated macular degeneration (AMD) is a typical ocular vascular and aging disease lead to severe blindness. However, whether UPF are associated with AMD is unknown. We aim to investigate the associations between UPF and AMD incidence in UK biobank. This study will last three years. Finally, this study will add knowledge whether UPF are associated with AMD, and give people at risk of AMD a healthy diet.
