Summary

This study tested whether personalized risk profiling (including genetic testing) and coaching can motivate people with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) to change their lifestyle. 150 participants received standard lifestyle advice plus supplements, and some also got personalized risk profiles and coaching. The goal was to see if these extra strategies improved lifestyle scores measured by questionnaires.
