Abstract

To assess the longitudinal relationship between age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and allostatic load (AL), an established framework for quantifying the physiologic effects of chronic stress through measurements of systemic biomarkers.

Research summary

The paper claims that there is a longitudinal relationship between chronic stress, as measured by allostatic load, and age-related macular degeneration. This research is relevant as it explores the impact of chronic stress on a specific age-related disease, potentially addressing underlying mechanisms that contribute to aging processes.
