Type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease (CVD) are diseases with high mortality and morbidity. Homocysteine and low density lipoprotein (LDL) have an influence on the formation of atheromatous plaques. However, the association of variables and rarely addressed in the literature, it is important to control the risks. The aim of this study was to evaluate the correlation between homocysteine and LDL in older women with type 2 diabetes. For primary research, quantitative cross-section were recruited 16 elderly women with type 2 diabetes. The group underwent collection of blood samples by venipuncture, which made the analysis of LDL and homocysteine. The results found that homocysteine is not correlated with LDL (P <0.781) and BMI is not related to homocysteine (P <0.426) and LDL (P <0.167). We can also observe that the systolic blood pressure is not related to homocysteine (P <0.148) and LDL (P <0.925) and diastolic blood pressure also not associated with homocysteine (P <0.125) and LDL (P <0.935). It is concluded that homocysteine not associated with LDL levels, body mass index and blood pressure.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
