Abstract in brief

  • The study used Mendelian randomization to explore if higher levels of homocysteine and certain B vitamins are causally linked to cardiovascular diseases, finding stronger evidence for homocysteine's connection to stroke risk.
  • Elevated genetically predicted homocysteine levels were associated with increased risk of stroke, especially subarachnoid hemorrhage and ischemic stroke, while higher folate and vitamin B6 levels were linked to a reduced risk of certain strokes and coronary artery disease, though these findings were not statistically significant after strict testing.
  • Overall, the results suggest that lowering homocysteine levels and possibly B vitamin supplementation could help prevent some types of stroke, but more research is needed to confirm these potential benefits.]

@TomaszLaszcz @Electrolit777 LipoproteinA jest kwestią loterii genetycznej, na homocysteinę masz znacznie większy wpływ stylem życia, bo jest wskaźnikiem stanu zapalnego w układzie krwionośnym. https://t.co/4tcfzqv2nk
