| Abstract: | - 1.1) The incidence of vitamin E deficiency was estimated in 490 Uganda African subjects.
- 2.2) 15 per cent. of the control group were deficient and similar values were found in diabetic subjects, cardiac failure subjects and primagravidae. There was a significant increase in the incidence of deficiency in cases of severe hookworm infection.
- 3.3) It is suggested that the possible role of vitamin E deficiency in the aetiology of cardiac disease of obscure origin and of cirrhosis should be borne in mind.
