Results: In this study, 31 (33%) women and 63 (67%) were male with a mean age of 69 years were enrolled. 16% of patients with lower homocysteine levels (<10) and 84 percent have a high homocysteine (>10). The results showed that homocysteine levels in persons with high blood pressure, chronic disease, smoking, male gender and age above 40 years were above 10 and was a significant difference with Control group (p <0.05). Conclusion: Homocysteine levels was Above 10 in patients with hypertension, Chronic disease, smokers, older age and in men.
