Stroke 30:1554-1560, Kittner,S.J.,et al, 1999
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
The association between elevated homocyst(e)ine and stroke was independent not only of traditional vascular risk factors but also of vitamin use and poverty status. The degree of homocyst(e)ine elevation associated with an increased strok e risk in young women is lower than that previously reported for middle-aged men and the elderly and was highly prevalent, being present in one third of the control group.
