    Este estudio ha recibido una ayuda en 2017 para la realización de Proyectos de Investigación Cuidados de Enfermería de la Fundación para la Formación e Investigación Sanitaria (FFIS) de la Región de Murcia. Número de Proyecto FFIS17/CE/01/02.[ES] El objetivo de este estudio fue describir las características diferenciales por sexo y edad en un Programa de actividad física (ACTIVA-Murcia) desde una perspectiva de género. Se realizó un estudio descriptivo mediante análisis secundario en 411 participantes de dos centros de salud de Murcia. El 62,3% fueron mujeres y el 71,8% tenían entre 45 y 64 años. Entre los hombres, el 57,8% estaban laboralmente activos y tenían una actividad física cuya mediana fue de 1.939,5 METs/semanales. Entre las mujeres, el 37,4% estaban activas laboralmente y realizaban una mediana de 1.386,0 METs/semanales. El motivo de ausencia a alguna sesión por enfermedad fue del 53,4% para las mujeres y el 30,4% para los hombres. Los profesionales deben considerar estas diferencias en la promoción de actividad física.

    Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of irreversible blindness in the elderly population in the Western world. AMD is a clinically heterogeneous disease presenting with drusen, pigmentary changes, geographic atrophy and/or choroidal neovascularization. Due to its heterogeneous presentation, it can be challenging to distinguish AMD from several macular diseases that can mimic the features of AMD. This clinical overlap may potentially lead to misdiagnosis. In this review, we discuss the characteristics of AMD and the macular dystrophies that can mimic AMD. The appropriate use of clinical and genetic analysis can aid the clinician to establish the correct diagnosis, and to provide the patient with the appropriate prognostic information. An overview is presented of overlapping and distinguishing clinical features
