B VITAMINS AND OSTEOPOROSIS-RELATED FRACTURES
Folate and other B vitamins, already known to prevent severe birth defects and heart attacks, may also ward off broken bones from osteoporosis, two major studies suggest.
The findings underscore doctors’ recommendations that people take multivitamins daily supplying the full range of B Complex.
B vitamins (including: Thiamine, Riboflavin, Folate, Niacin, B6, B12) are known to reduce levels of homocysteine, an amino acid produced by the body already linked, at high levels, to an increased risk of heart attacks, strokes and Alzheimer’s disease.
Now research shows high levels of homocysteine at least double the risk of osteoporosis-related fractures.
A report from Holland found that the risk of such fractures was twice as high in men and women with homocysteine levels in the top 25 percent, compared with those with lower levels.
Similarly, a United States study found the risk nearly quadrupled in the top 25 percent of men and nearly doubled in the top 25 percent of women, compared with the 25 percent with the lowest levels.
The studies were reported in the current New England Journal of Medicine.
