Key result
Elevated plasma homocysteine is linked to increased large artery stiffness in men but not women.
Why the study?
Are plasma homocysteine levels associated with alterations of large artery stiffness in a Chinese population?
Are plasma homocysteine levels associated with alterations of large artery stiffness in a Chinese population?
Plasma homocysteine levels correlate with large artery stiffness in Chinese men, but not women, suggesting a sex-specific vascular risk association.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Homocysteine-arterial stiffness link in Chinese men only is hypothesis-generating; prospective studies needed before any clinical consideration.
In Chinese population, plasma homocysteine levels are independently associated with alterations of large artery stiffness in men but not in women.
