Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to determine if folic acid supplementation can slow down atherosclerotic progression age-related cognitive decline and age-related hearing loss
Detailed Description: Low levels of B vitamins in particular folate and high levels of plasma total homocysteine have been associated with a variety of age-related diseases and disorders including cardiovascular disease dementia and hearing impairment Extra folate for example in the form of folic acid is known to decrease the concentrations of plasma total homocysteine

We examined whether 08 mgd folic acid could slow down atherosclerotic progression and the above mentioned age-related processes
