Neuroprotective effects of healthful plant-based diets on retinal structure: insights from a large cohort
The study findings suggest that adherence to a healthful plant-based diet may confer neuroprotective benefits, particularly for retinal ganglion cell health. This large-scale population-based study underscores the potential role of diet in mitigating early neurodegenerative changes detectable through non-invasive retinal imaging. Further longitudinal research is needed to establish causal relationships and elucidate the underlying mechanisms between diet and retinal health.
