Underestimation of the importance of homocysteine as a risk factor for cardiovascular disease in epidemiological studies.
BACKGROUND: In epidemiological studies, within-person variability in plasma total homocysteine (tHcy) measurements may dilute the association of 'usual' levels of tHcy with risk of cardiovascular disease, referred to as 'regression dilution'. The aim of this report was to estimat...
