What is Determinants of Plasma Anti-oxidant Vitamin Levels in a Population at High Risk for Stomach Cancer about?
Our objective was to identify the determinants of plasma levels of anti-oxidant vitamins which have been linked with decreased risk of cancer and other chronic diseases. Correlation analyses were performed between baseline plasma levels of ascorbic acid, a-and @carotenes, cryptoxanthin, lycopene and a-and y-tocopherols and baseline information on dietary and other demographic and life-style factors among 1,364 subjects 35-69 years of age, who are participants in a chemoprevention trial on pre-cancerous lesions of the stomach in Venezuela. Males had lower levels of ascorbic acid, a-and p-carotene and cryptoxanthin and higher levels of a-tocopherol than females. This finding was confirmed in non-smokers and non-drinkers. In females, but not in males, age was positively associated with levels of ascorbic acid, cryptoxanthin, a-and p-carotene and y-tocopherol. Male tobacco users had lower plasma levels of ascorbic acid, a-and p-carotene and cryptoxanthin than nonusers, and regular alcohol drinkers had a decreased plasma levels of p-carotene compared with non-drinkers. Female tobacco users had lower levels of ascorbic acid and cryptoxanthin than non-users, and regular alcohol drinkers h
