Age-related is far more common, but macular degeneration can occur as a symptom of other conditions.
The study found the increased risk in patients with two types of cholesterol deposits formed under the retina, but it didn't mention whether that was more common in wet or dry. I'm not a doctor though so someone else may know more about that.
