Serum alpha-tocopherol levels of Mexican Americans, Cubans, and Puerto Ricans aged 4-74 y
1989
Data from the Hispanic Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were used to examine serum alpha-tocopherol levels (in subjects aged 4-74 y) and ratios of alpha-tocopherol to cholesterol plus triglyceride and to cholesterol (in subjects aged 20-74 y) of Mexican Americans (MA), Cubans, and Puerto Ricans (PR). Neither alpha-tocopherol nor the alpha-tocopherol-lipid ratios differed between sexes. PR had lower mean alpha-tocopherol and alpha-tocopherol-lipid ratios and higher prevalences of alpha-tocopherol less than 11.6 micromole/L than did MA or Cubans in several age groups. MA and Cuban adolescents had lower alpha-tocopherol levels than children had. Mean alpha-tocopherol levels and alpha-tocopherol-lipid ratios increased and prevalences of alpha-tocopherol less than 11.6 micromole/L decreased during adulthood in all three ethnic groups.
