title: [Vitamin E in the aged].
abstract: Aging is a multifactorial process still incompletely known. The role of oxidative damage to cell membranes, as an important phase of the process, is underlined by the recent literature. We emphasize the value of vitamin E as an antioxidant agent supplied by suitable diets in middle age and by cheap tablets in the aged.
