Serum vitamin E, vitamin E/cholesterol and physical activity and fitness were examined in a representative cross section (n = 1600) of the Northern Ireland population as part of the Northern Ireland health and activity survey. Serum vitamin E levels were measured by high-performance liquid chromatography, cholesterol by an enzymatic method, physical activity profile was recorded by computer assisted interview and physical fitness was determined by estimation of VO2 max. The levels of serum vitamin E and vitamin E/cholesterol ratio in the Northern Irish population were similar or higher than in other populations with lower incidences of coronary heart disease. The assessment of activity showed that 75% of the population fell below recommended activity levels likely to confer a cardioprotective effect. A significant relationship (P = 0.01) was found in males between serum vitamin E levels and lifetime participation in physical activity. Otherwise no relationship was found between serum vitamin E or vitamin E/cholesterol ratio and physical activity or fitness in the population.
作为北爱尔兰健康与活动调查的一部分，在北爱尔兰人群的一个代表性横断面（n = 1600）中对血清维生素E、维生素E/胆固醇以及身体活动与健康状况进行了检测。血清维生素E水平通过高效液相色谱法测定，胆固醇通过酶法测定，身体活动情况通过计算机辅助访谈记录，身体适应性通过最大摄氧量估算来确定。北爱尔兰人群的血清维生素E水平和维生素E/胆固醇比值与冠心病发病率较低的其他人群相似或更高。活动评估显示，75%的人群低于可能具有心脏保护作用的推荐活动水平。在男性中发现血清维生素E水平与一生参与身体活动之间存在显著关系（P = 0.01）。否则，在该人群中未发现血清维生素E或维生素E/胆固醇比值与身体活动或健康状况之间存在关联。
