[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST gKnnR0xM. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Objectives. This study assessed the association of dietary folate, vitamin B6, and vitamin B12 with cardiovascular mortality. Methods. Poisson regression analyses assessed coronary/cerebrovascular mortality rates via nutrient data obtained from the National Nutrition Survey, which recorded 7-day food intakes from a national sample of 21 155 households. Results. In regard to coronary mortality, male and female rate ratios (highest vs lowest quintile) were 0.83 (95% confidence interval [CI]=0.77,0.91) and 0.95 (95% CI=0.86,1.05), respectively, for folate and 0.74 (95% CI=0.65,0.84) and 0.86 (95% CI=0.73,0.99), respectively, for B12. Intake of folate and B6 (but not B12) was significantly associated with cerebrovascular mortality. Conclusions. B vitamins are associated with cardiovascular mortality in the general population.
