A randomized controlled trial of the effect of 1 g ascorbic acid per day in the prevention of the common cold was conducted on 688 adult women. There is evidence of a small reduction by vitamin C in the mean number of chest colds, but no evidence of any effect on simple colds. The existence of a subgroup of vulnerable women in the community who benefit from vitamin C was considered but further examination of the data gives no support to this conclusion.
对688名成年女性进行了一项随机对照试验,以研究每日服用1克抗坏血酸预防普通感冒的效果。有证据表明维生素C使胸部感冒的平均次数略有减少,但没有证据表明对普通感冒有任何作用。曾考虑社区中存在从维生素C中受益的易患病女性亚组,但对数据的进一步分析不支持这一结论。
