Associations between homocysteine and B vitamins and stroke: a cross-sectional study

ConclusionNon-linear associations of plasma Hcy and B vitamins levels with stroke prevalence were found in American adults. These associations may have an implication that higher plasma Hcy levels should be reduced, and plasma vitamin B6, vitamin B12 and folate levels should be moderately improved in stroke prevention. Future studies are needed to verify the causality of these associations and elucidate the underlying mechanisms.
