Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Elevated serum total homocysteine (tHcy) is considered an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. The objective of this study was to develop the first-ever information on the prevalence of hyperhomocysteinemia and its determinants in a population in Costa Rica. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted to determine serum levels of tHcy, vitamin B(12), folate, and creatinine, as well as...
