Plasma Homocysteine as a Risk Factor for Dementia and Alzheimer's Disease

TL;DR: Dementia developed in 111 subjects, including 83 given a diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease, over a median follow-up period of eight years, and plasma levels of folate and vitamins B12 and B6 increased.
Journal ArticleDOI

Vitamin Status and Intake as Primary Determinants of Homocysteinemia in an Elderly Population

TL;DR: A strong association between homocysteine concentration and folate, vitamin B12, and vitamin B6 status, as well as age is indicated, suggesting that a substantial majority of the cases of high homocy steine in this older population can be attributed to vitamin status.
Journal ArticleDOI

Relation Between Folate Status, a Common Mutation in Methylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase, and Plasma Homocysteine Concentrations

TL;DR: Individuals with thermolabile MTHFR may have a higher folate requirement for regulation of plasma homocysteine concentrations; folate supplementation may be necessary to prevent fasting hyperhomocysteinemia in such persons.
