Serum level of Vitamin B12,folic acid and homocysteine in inpatients with cerebral infarction / 中风与神经疾病杂志

ABSTRACT

@#Objective To analyze the relationship of cerebral infarction(CI) between VitB12,folic acid(FA) and homocysteine(HCY).Methods Patients with CI,aged between 50 to 80 years old were collected from our hospital in recent three years.Patients with benign paroxysmalpositional vertigo(BPPV) at the same age group and from the same period were selected as the control group.To study the possible risk factors of cerebral infarction using logistic regression analysis.Results The increasing HCY enlarged the CI risk before inclusion of FA and VitB12 into the analysis.After inclusion of those factors,the correlation between increasing HCY and the enlarged CI risk disappeared.Instead,the decreasing FA and VitB12 increased the CI risk.Conclusion The relationship between HCY and CI was affected by FA and VitB12.
