Serum selenium, vitamin antioxidants, and cardiovascular mortality: a 9- year follow-up study in the Netherlands

FJ Kok, AM de Bruijn, R Vermeeren, A Hofman, A van Laar, M de Bruin, RJ Hermus and HA Valkenburg

The association between low serum selenium, vitamin A, and vitamin E levels and mortality from cardiovascular disease (CVD) was investigated in a case-control study nested in a 9-yr prospective study in the Netherlands. For 10,532 persons aged greater than or equal to 5 yr who participated in a 1975-1978 medical survey, serum was stored at -20 degrees C. For the 84 of 106 subjects aged 37-87 yr who died of CVD after the baseline exam, 168 cohort members alive at the end of 1983 and matched for age and gender were selected as controls. No significant associations between serum selenium. vitamin A, vitamin E, and CVD mortality were observed before and after multivariate analyses. The adjusted risk of death from CVD for subjects in the lowest selenium quintile (less than 105.0 micrograms/L) was 1.6 (95% CI, 0.8-3.2). For coronary and stroke death risk, estimates were 1.1 (95% CI, 0.5-2.6) and 3.2 (95% CI, 0.8-12.1). Our findings do not show a clear CVD risk from low selenium and vitamin levels. Although some of the risk estimates were strong, larger studies are required for definitive conclusions.
