[The influence of age and sex on fat- and water-soluble vitamins sufficiency of adulthood].
Serum concentrations of vitamins A, B2, B6, C, E and beta-carotene were determined in 174 healthy individuals ages 22-59 years. It was been shown that only 11% of examined men and 24% of women were well provided with all vitamins-antioxidants and beta-carotene. 38% cent of women and 67% cent of men had the combined insufficiency of 2-3 antioxidants (more often of vitamin C, B2 and beta-carotene). Men presented significantly higher serum retinol concentrations and lower concentrations of vitamin C and beta-carotene--than women. Serum concentrations of retinol for women and tocopherols for both men and women increased by 0.3% and 0.4% per year, respectively.
