There is a slightly higher incidence in females. Whites and Asians are more susceptible to developing ARMD than blacks, in whom the disorder is rare.
There is no TV developed for people suffering from Macular Degeneration, but as I found with my grandfather who suffers from macular degeneration that HDTVs tend to be the clearest for them. Also the larger the TV the better they will be able to see the picture. My mother finds that sub-titles are essential because she often can't follow the action and can't recognise who is coming in and out of the scene - at least sub-titles give her an idea of what's happening, and they are in the peripheral vision area. (For people who are nearly blind, the audio commentary option is also very useful.) My mother also has a HUGE remote control, because she can't see the numbers on the remote controls that come with the TVs!
Degeneration
In the United States, the disease is primarily confined to slaughterhouse workers.
ITP does not appear to be related to race, lifestyle, climate, or environmental factors.
Thoracic outlet syndrome is most common in women who are 35 to 55 years of age.

Tasmanian devils tend to be solitary animals. They do not live in groups.
Threadworm infection, which is also called strongyloidiasis, occurs in most countries of the world but is natural to (endemic in) tropical and subtropical climates.
There are many macular degeneration vitamins on the market that are promoted to help with vision. I will go over some of the ingredients that should be included in these eye health supplements. However, no matter how good any vitamin is, it is no substitute for healthy diet that includes antioxidant rich foods and eliminates or reduces the amount of processed foods and foods high in sugar and carbohydrates. See related link for more about antioxidant rich foods. Several years ago when I found out that my husband's father had macular degeneration, I went to the drugstore to get some eye vitamins for my husband to perhaps help prevent or delay the onset of AMD in his eyes. I walked out of the store with nothing - the choices and options were so overwhelming I just didn't know which one to buy. I've learned quite a bit about vitamins since then. Two of the most important carotenoids are lutein and zeaxanthin. Both of these antioxidants actually help build the macular pigment - a pigment in the retina that protects our eyes internally just like sunglasses do externally. The thicker the pigment the more protection. However, our bodies cannot make lutein or zeaxanthin, one must get them from diet or supplements. Studies have shown that macular pigment density which can be measured, does improve with foods rich in these antioxidants or by taking vitamins with them. See related link for more information.

Patients with nephrotic syndrome are from all age groups, although in children there is an increased risk of the disorder between the ages of 18 months and four years. In children, boys are more frequently affected; in adults.
Otosclerosis is a common hereditary condition. About 10% of the Caucasian population has some form of otosclerosis, however, it is rare among other ethnic backgrounds. Women are more likely than men to suffer from otosclerosis.
