For each μmol/L increase in homocysteine, the risk of arterial stiffness increased by 106% for plasma and 76% for serum homocysteine.
Does an increase in homocysteine levels increase the risk of arterial stiffness in the adult population?
Elevated plasma and serum homocysteine levels are strongly associated with an increased risk of arterial stiffness, highlighting a potential mechanism for vascular dysfunction.
Absolute Event Rate: 0% vs 0%
For each μmol/L unit increase in homocysteine levels, the risk of arterial stiffness increased by 106% for plasma homocysteine and by 76% for serum homocysteine. These findings are of clinical importance for understanding the underlying mechanisms involved in vascular dysfunction to establish preventive strategies in the cardiovascular setting.
