简要总结
Observation studies documented a correlation between plasma concentrations of homocysteine and cognitive decline with age. The study hypothesis was that high doses of B-vitamins (as effective homocysteine lowering treatment) can improve cognitive function in elderly people.
详细描述
We performed a treatment with therapeutic doses of B-vitamins (folic acid, cobalamin, vitamin B6) for 45 days. We collected blood and tested the concentrations of the metabolic markers in blood at start, 3 weeks later and at the end. Cognitive function was tested at start and at the end.
