Vitamins Reduce Risk of Peripheral Arterial Disease
The study involved 1673 men and 2694 women with an average age of 67 years. All participants underwent a thorough clinical evaluation and completed a 170-item food questionnaire. After adjusting for age and other confounding variables, the intake of beta-carotene and vitamin E was not related to PAD risk among women.
According to the American Journal of Epidemiology (Vol. 154, July 15, 2001, pp. 145-49), the intake of beta-carotene and vitamin C was not related to PAD risk among men. The researchers conclude that antioxidants are helpful in preventing PAD. They are not sure why there is a difference between men and women in regard to the relative benefits of vitamin C and vitamin E, but surmise that it could be due to a different food pattern.
