Maddock J, et al. - Researchers identified a dietary pattern (DP) characterised by plasma homocysteine (Hcy), dietary folate and dietary vitamin B12, as well as explore its relationships with two markers of vascular function: carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) and pulse wave velocity (PWV). They involved 1,562 members of the MRC National Survey of Health and Development (NSHD), a British birth cohort, with dietary data measured at least once between 36 and 60-64 years, and cIMT or PWV measured at 60-64 years. No consistent evidence for an association between a high B-vitamin DP and vascular function was found. However, an association with CRP and triglycerides in secondary analyses was found.
