Implementing and evaluating a telephone-delivered dietary intervention for age-related macular degeneration patients

老年性黄斑变性(AMD)是导致失明的主要原因。饮食调整在预防AMD和减缓其进展方面非常重要。然而，患者从眼科临床医生那里得到的解释不充分，以及关于饮食和AMD的信息/知识。事实证明，电话辅导可以提高对饮食建议的遵从性。因此，我的旅行联谊会旨在通过实施和评估电话辅导计划来改善AMD患者的饮食行为。

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a leading cause of blindness. Dietary modifications are important in preventing AMD and slowing its progression. Yet, patients have inadequate explanation from eye care clinicians, as well as information/ knowledge regarding diet and AMD. Telephone coaching is proven to improve adherence to dietary recommendations. Hence, my TRIP Fellowship aims to improve dietary behaviours of AMD patients by implementing and evaluating a telephone coaching program.
