Key Points

  • The aim is to assess the impact of tobacco and healthcare equity on age-related macular degeneration and vision impairment in Japan.
  • Analyzed 30-year population data from Japan
  • Examined national and prefecture-level statistics
  • Assessed the relationship between tobacco control and vision impairment
  • Tobacco control is linked to reduced AMD-related vision impairment
  • Healthcare equity contributes to lower vision loss burden
  • Findings guide prevention strategies for aging societies

Abstract

Translating 30-year population data, this study shows that tobacco control and healthcare equity reduce AMD-related vision impairment burden, informing vision loss prevention in aging societies.
