Summary
This study looked at whether telling healthy adults their genetic risk for age-related macular degeneration (AMD) would encourage them to eat more carotenoid-rich foods, which are good for eye health. Researchers measured skin and eye carotenoid levels in 80 Caucasian participants before and after genetic risk disclosure. The goal was to see if knowing your risk leads to healthier lifestyle changes.
