Vitamin D deficiency links to intermediate macular degeneration

Deficiency (<25 nmol/l) was associated with incident intermediate AMD with a hazard ratio of 2.34 compared to sufficient levels (≥50 nmol/l).Deficiency (<25 nmol/l) was associated with incident intermediate AMD with a hazard ratio of 2.34 compared to sufficient levels (≥50 nmol/l).
