Vitamin E status of adolescent girls.
The vitamin E status of 88 adolescent girls living in the western Virginia area was measured. About 12% of the subjects had marginal to low vitamin E status, as indicated by plasma total tocopherol levels. Approximately 12% reported consuming less than two-thirds of the RDA for vitamin E. Plasma total tocopherol levels were not significantly correlated with reported vitamin E intakes.
