There are numerous theories of aging, a process which still seems inevitable. Aging leads to
cancer and multi-systemic disorders as well as chronic diseases. Decline in age-associated …

The potential protective roles of folate and the metabolically related B-vitamins (vitamins
B12, B6 and riboflavin) in diseases of ageing are of increasing research interest. The most …

Background The increased prevalence of osteoporosis among people with homocystinuria
suggests that a high serum homocysteine concentration may weaken bone by interfering …

Osteoporosis is a major health disorder associated with an increased risk of fracture.
Nutrition is among the modifiable factors that influence the risk of osteoporosis and fracture …

Hyperhomocysteinemia may contribute to the development of osteoporosis. The relationship
of Hcy and vitamin B12 with bone turnover markers, BUA, and fracture incidence was …

Hyperhomocystinemia is a modifiable risk factor for osteoporosis and fracture. Physiologic
concentrations of Hcy directly activate osteoclast formation and activity through stimulation of …

Background Plasma total homocysteine (tHcy) has been associated with hip fracture but not
directly with bone mineral density (BMD). We examined the association of hip BMD with …

Homocysteine and related factors were evaluated as risk factors for subsequent hip fractures
among 4766 elderly men and women. High levels of homocysteine and low levels of folate …
