The correlation of calorie-adjusted intake of vitamin E with lipid-adjusted plasma levels of vitamin alpha-tocopherol was 0.53 for men and 0.51 for women.
Practitioners should note the importance of vitamin E intake for maintaining adequate plasma levels.

- Smokers had much lower plasma levels of beta-carotene than did nonsmokers (geometric mean 8.5 vs. 15.3 micrograms/dl for men; 17.3 vs. 26.3 micrograms/dl for women).Strong
- Men who smoked one pack per day had 72% of the plasma beta-carotene levels of nonsmokers after accounting for dietary carotene and other variables.Strong
