In patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration, physical activity may influence C-reactive protein levels

Research output: Contribution to journalJournal articleResearch

Association of neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD) with C-reactive protein (CRP) was previously reported, indicating a relation to systemic low-grade inflammation. However, visual impairment limits physical activity, and physical activity modulates CRP levels. Here, we investigated the impact of physical activity on CRP levels in patients with neovascular AMD and control individuals.
