Article Synopsis
- Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) lead globally in death rates, and low levels of vitamin E are linked to a greater risk of these conditions, though studies haven't specifically looked at the combination of vitamin E deficiency (VED) and CVD across populations.
- Vitamin E deficiency ranges widely, from 0.6% to 55.5% worldwide, particularly high in regions like Asia and Europe that also report high CVD mortality, suggesting a public health concern.
- Research shows that α-tocopherol supplementation alone isn't enough for cardiovascular protection; it's important to focus on the full range of vitamin E sources in food, and better understand its role in promoting heart health through public health initiatives.
