In the Health Professional Follow-Up Study (Rimm et al.y 1993) vitamin C intake could not be related to CHD morbidity however, a significant inverse relationship was found with vitamin E. In a study in Finland with about 5000 men and women, dietary intake of vitamin C was inversely related to coronary mortality only among women. In this study, vitamin E intake was inversely related to coronary mortality in both men and women. A substudy of the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging with 827 participants showed that high levels of vitamin C were associated with less atherogenetic lipid profiles (Hallfrisch et al., 1994).
