Vitamin E & Physical Decline

 In Uncategorized

Yale University School of Medicine researched 698 community-living persons 65 years and older in Tuscany. Researchers were looking to identify the factors that contribute to physical function decline.*

Participants were examined between 1998 and 2000 and then re-evaluated 3 years later.  The researchers measured their amounts of micronutrients, including folate, vitamins B6, B12, D and E.

During follow up, Vitamin E was the only nutrient that was found to have a direct relationship with a decrease in physical function. Low Vitamin E serum in the blood was the strongest determinant of decline in physical function of these participants.
