Abstract
Low folate concentrations, independent of hyperhomocysteinemia, may promote atherogenesis. Our findings confirm the null association of homocysteine with carotid intima-media thickness observed in other population-based studies, suggesting that hyperhomocysteinemia does not perpetuate atherosclerosis or arterial stiffness.
