In 1986, sixty 35-year-old Dutch men (response 87%) provided information on medications, alcohol consumption and smoking habits. Length, body weight and blood pressure were determined. A blood sample was taken to determine serum cholesterol, HDL cholesterol and biochemical parameters of the vitamin, iron and trace element status (hematology, ferritin, vitamins A, B6, B12, folate, Zn, Se). Prevalence of overweight (body mass index greater than 27 kg/m2) was 15%, whereas 12% had high-risk cholesterol levels (greater than 6.4 mmol/l). Except for possibly selenium, no marginal values for the vitamin, iron and trace element status were found. Smokers had a higher hematocrit reading and mean corpuscular volume and lower mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (p less than 0.05). The nutritional status was not negatively influenced by (predominantly moderate) alcohol consumption (mean = 21 g/day). Positive associations with alcohol consumption were found for plasma folic acid (p less than 0.01) and plasma pyridoxal-5'-phosphate (p less than 0.001). This study shows that the most important nutritional risks in 35-year-old Dutch men are related to cardiovascular disease.
