Association of total homocysteine with blood pressure in a general population of Chinese adults: A cross-sectional study in Jiangsu province, China
BMJ Open Jun 22, 2018
Wu H, et al. - In this cross-sectional study, the researchers assessed the relation of total homocysteine (tHcy) concentrations with systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) levels, as well as studied the possible modifiers in the association among a general population of Chinese adults. Twenty-six thousand, six hundred forty-eight participants aged ≥35 years and with no antihypertensive drug use were involved.
