In 830 Viennese school children of both sexes, aged 11-12 years, plasma carotene, retinol and alpha-tocopherol, erythrocyte transketolase activity (alpha ETK), erythrocyte glutathione-reductase (alpha EGR) and erythrocyte glutamic acid oxalacetic acid transaminase (alpha EGOT) were determined. The mean alpha ETK value indicated inadequate thiamine supply. The vitamin status was better in boys and in children of higher socio-economic classes than in girls and in the low income group, with respect to beta-carotene, retinol, tocopherol, thiamine and riboflavin. The opposite situation was true in the case of pyridoxine where the girls and the children of lower socio-economic status showed lower values for alpha EGOT indicating a better vitamin B6 status. Eating habits of the children did not seem to affect the vitamin status, but in children with overweight higher values for retinol and thiamine were more frequent and a positive correlation was found between tocopherol values and serum cholesterol.

The contents of the vitamins B1 (27 ng/ml), B2 (57 ng/ml), A (1.3 micrograms/ml), and E (9.7 micrograms/ml) as well as beta-carotene (0.2 microgram/ml) in transitional human milk were determined for up to 35 women aged between 19 and 31 years. Additionally, the vitamin content in maternal and cord plasma as well as the erythrocytic transketolase- and glutathione-reductase activities of the water soluble vitamins were measured. Dietary recalls were evaluated for the nutritional intake of vitamins. Concerning the fat soluble vitamins, the breast fed newborns received the recommended amounts of the German Society of Nutrition (DGE) for this group. In contrast to this, the supply of the water soluble vitamins (B1: 13.5 micrograms/500 ml; B2: 28.5 micrograms/500 ml) attained only 5 to 10% of the recommendations for newborns during the first two weeks after parturition with breast feeding. Vitamin content of maternal plasma (B1: 6.1 +/- 2.8 ng/ml) and erythrocytic enzyme activities (alpha ETK: 0.86-1.62; alpha EGR: 1.08-1.75) indicated a low or sufficient intake, while the values in cord blood (B1: 19.8 +/- 6.5 ng/ml; alpha ETK: 0.62-1.62; alpha EGR: 1.01-1.47) were in accordance with a satisfactory supply.
