Advanced AMD is categorized as atrophic (dry) or exudative (wet/neovascular age-related macular degeneration [nAMD]). Dry AMD is characterized by progressive geographic atrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium and outer retinal layers, whereas nAMD is characterized by new vessels that invade the subretinal and/or subretinal pigment epithelium spaces. Existing treatments delay the onset of advanced AMD and reverses vision loss for a couple of years before atrophy usually decreases central visual acuity. We searched PubMed and Medline databases from January 1, 1980, to December 1, 2023, using the following search terms: <em>macular degeneration, choroidal neovascularization, geographic atrophy, drusen, age-related maculopathy, AMD, ARMD, and anti-VEGF</em>. Relevant articles in English (or English translations) were retrieved and reviewed. Bibliographies of the identified manuscripts were also reviewed to identify relevant studies. Age-related macular degeneration most commonly affects people older than 55 years. Visual prognosis varies, with advanced lesions (nAMD and geographic atrophy) leading to rapid, progressive loss of central vision and contrast sensitivity. Although AMD is not a life-threatening disease, reduced vision profoundly compromises quality of life and necessitates living assistance for many patients. Over the past 2 decades, advances in prevention (vitamin supplementation) and therapy (antivascular endothelial growth factor and complement inhibitor drugs) have reduced vision loss and blindness. Further research is needed to decrease the incidence of blindness in patients with advanced disease.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":94132,"journal":{"name":"Mayo Clinic proceedings.

Lifestyle medicine is an approach to preventing and treating lifestyle-related chronic disease using evidence-based lifestyle modification as a primary modality. NYC Health + Hospitals, the largest municipal public health care system in the United States, is a national pioneer in incorporating lifestyle medicine systemwide. In 2019, a pilot lifestyle medicine program was launched at NYC Health + Hospitals/Bellevue to improve cardiometabolic health in high-risk patients through intensive support for evidence-based lifestyle changes. Analyses of program data collected from January 29, 2019 to February 26, 2020 demonstrated feasibility, high demand for services, high patient satisfaction, and clinically and statistically significant improvements in cardiometabolic risk factors. This pilot is being expanded to 6 new NYC Health + Hospitals sites spanning all 5 NYC boroughs. As part of the expansion, many changes have been implemented to enhance the original pilot model, scale services effectively, and generate more interest and incentives in lifestyle medicine for staff and patients across the health care system, including a plant-based default meal program for inpatients. This narrative review describes the pilot model and outcomes, the expansion process, and lessons learned to serve as a guide for other health systems.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":94132,"journal":{"name":"Mayo Clinic proceedings.
