Abstract

The aim of this study was to identify publications in literature that investigated Homocys-teine (He) as a risk factor for CVD among children and adolescents. An active search for information in LILACS, IBECS, Science Direct, Medline and Cochrane Library databases was conducted using the following combination of keywords “homocysteine”, “cardiovascular diseases”, “child” and “adolescent”. Fifteen articles were analyzed showing direct relationship with increasing age (8 studies) and male gender (10 studies), and an inverse relationship with serum vitamins B6, B12 and folate levels. Thus, the results suggest that more research must be carried through in order to determine in a more coherent way the causes of the hiperhomocisteinemia in the pediatric population, guiding for an adequate diet, rich in nutrients necessary to favor the metabolism of the He.

同型半胱氨酸：儿童和青少年的心血管危险因素？

本研究的目的是确定文献中研究同性恋蛋白（He）作为儿童和青少年心血管疾病危险因素的出版物。使用以下关键词“同型半胱氨酸”、“心血管疾病”、“儿童”和“青少年”组合，在LILACS、IBECS、Science Direct、Medline和Cochrane Library数据库中积极搜索信息。分析了15篇文章，显示其与年龄增长（8项研究）和男性（10项研究）直接相关，与血清维生素B6、B12和叶酸水平呈反比。因此，研究结果表明，必须进行更多的研究，以更一致的方式确定儿科人群中hiperhomocsteinemia的原因，指导充足的饮食，富含有利于He代谢所需的营养。
