RESUMO
Para investigar o papel da hiperhomocisteinemia como fator de risco independente para doença aterosclerótica coronária em idosos realizou-se estudo caso-controle com 172 idosos. Visou-se também estimar níveis sangüíneos de homocisteína, vitaminas B6, B12, e folato. A hiperhomocisteinemia constituiu fator de risco independente para doença aterosclerótica coronária em idosos. Déficit de folato foi pouco freqüente, contrastando com déficit de vitaminas B6 e B12 em aproximadamente metade dos idosos.We realized a case-control study among 172 elderly patients in order to investigate hyperhomocysteinemia as an independent risk factor for coronary artery disease in the elderly. We also estimated blood levels of homocysteine, folate, B6 and B12 vitamins. Hyperhomocysteinemia was an independent risk factor for coronary artery disease in this elderly population. Folate deficiency was rare, and vitamin B12 and B6 occurred in approximately half of the studied population...
