It might be possible to reduce your
risk of cataracts
by participating in either walking or running according to a study published in
Medicine and Science in Sports.
In previous studies the risk of cataracts formation was found to be lower in
runners over time. In this Berkeley study when the incidence of cataracts was
adjusted for sex, race, age, education, smoking, and intakes of meat, fruit and
alcohol, lower cataract risk was significantly associated with both running and
walking with no significant difference in risk reduction between running and
walking, or between men and women. Further, the cataract risk appears to
decrease linearly with increasing exercise energy expenditure.
If you
or someone you know has questions about their risk of cataracts or needs a
cataract eye exam, laser
cataract surgery or lens implants please
