On a small island of Rab, geographical latitude 44 degrees 40' N, with the highest solar radiation among Adriatic islands, 1371 patients were examined in 2003-2005 period, with the aim of estimating the frequency of the patients number with Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD), and further if the peripheral retina is damaged similarly as the macular region. In the first group of agriculturists and fishermen (n = 1300) we estimated the AMD, initial and middle stage of AMD, in 18% of population, but in urban population only by 2 patients. Perimetric analysis with computerized Kowa perimeter, estimated that the peripheral retina is affected similarly as the macular region. Author concludes that for this reason, the usual term of "Age-related Macular Degeneration" should necessarily be named with the suffix "Peripheral", or "Age-related Retinopathy".
在拉布的一个小岛上，地理纬度为北纬44度40分，是亚得里亚海诸岛中太阳辐射最强的地方。在2003年至2005年期间，对1371名患者进行了检查，目的是估计年龄相关性黄斑变性（AMD）患者的数量频率，以及进一步研究周边视网膜是否与黄斑区域受到类似损伤。在第一组农民和渔民（n = 1300）中，我们估计AMD、AMD早期和中期在18%的人群中存在，但在城市人口中只有2例。使用计算机化的科瓦视野计进行视野分析估计，周边视网膜与黄斑区域受到的影响类似。作者得出结论，基于这个原因，通常所说的“年龄相关性黄斑变性”这个术语必然应该加上“周边”后缀，或者称为“年龄相关性视网膜病变”。
