Redução dos níveis séricos de ácido fólico em pacientes com a doença de Alzheimer

Abstract: Background: Complex B vitamin deficiency has been associated to cognitive impairment and dementing disorders in the elderly. Objective: This work aims to assess whether patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) have lower levels of folic acid and cobalamin (vitamin B 12 ) compared to age and gender-matched controls. Methods: One hundred and forty six elderly subjects (40 AD, 56 MCI and 49 healthy older adults) were recruited for this study. Serum folic acid and vitamin B 12 lev… Show more

“…In our study, serum folate concentrations were inversely associated with cognitive impairment in crude analyses, but not after additional adjustment. The relationship between folate levels and cognitive impairment in LA has also mostly been studied in Brazil, where lower serum folate levels were found among subjects with dementia of the AD type compared to MCI and controls in adjusted analyses ( 62 ). In our study, folate levels were lower in the dementia group compared with a group of patients with SCD.…”
