Total homocysteine and its predictors in Dutch children
Background: Vitamin status, methylenentetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) genotype, age, sex, and lifestyle factors are all predictors of total homocysteine (tHcy) concentrations in adults. Limited data are available about the influence of these factors on tHcy in children. Objective: The objective was to describe tHcy and its predictors in Dutch children. Design: A sample of 234 white children aged 0-19 y was analyzed cross-sectionally. Results: The geometric mean tHcy concentrations were 5.1 (95% CI: 4.6,5.6), 4.6 (4.2,5.1), 6.2 (5.6,6.9), 7.3 (6.7,8.0), and 8.7 (7.9, 9.6) μmol/L in the 0-1,... Mehr ...
