摘要：

The data demonstrate that high plasma homocysteine levels and low plasma folate and vitamin B-12 levels are associated with a higher prevalence of 40% to 100% extracranial carotid arterial disease (ECAD) in older men and women. Elevated plasma homocysteine levels were observed in 45% of the older men with 40% to 100% ECAD versus 20% of the older men with 0% to 39% ECAD, and in 40% of the older women with 40% to 100% ECAD versus 18% of the older women with 0% to 39% ECAD.
