One of the most recent studies, which was published in the July 2004
issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition evaluated 228
subjects. In those whose blood levels of folate were lowest, the risk
for mild cognitive impairment was more than tripled, and risk of
dementia increased almost four fold. Homocysteine, a potentially
harmful product of cellular metabolism that is converted into other
useful compounds by folate, along with vitamin B6 and B 12, was also
linked to dementia and Alzheimer's disease. Individuals whose
homocysteine levels were elevated had a 4.3 (more than four fold)
increased risk of dementia and a 3.7 (almost four fold) increased risk
of Alzheimer's disease.
