title: [Age-related macular degeneration and risk of stroke].
abstract: Age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) and stroke are common causes of disability in subjects over 40 years of age. The etiology of ARMD remains unknown and numerous epidemiological studies have suggested a relationship between vascular risk factors and ARMD. A direct relationship between stroke and ARMD has also been suggested. An update on the association between ARMD and stroke is discussed in this article.
