Methodology: Blood serum concentrations of retinol and \u03b2-carotene of 189 morbidly obese individuals were assessed. The metabolic syndrome was identified according to the criteria of the National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) and World Health Organization (WHO). Lipid profile, insulin resistance, basal insulin, glycemia, blood pressure, and anthropometry and their correlation with retinol and \u03b2-carotene serum levels were evaluated. Results: Metabolic syndrome diagnosis was observed in 49.0% of the sample. Within this percentage the levels of \u03b2-carotene were significantly lower when body mass index increased. Serum retinol didn't show this behavior. Serum retinol inadequacy in patients with metabolic syndrome (61.3%), according to WHO criterion, was higher (15.8%) than when the whole sample was considered (12.7%). When metabolic syndrome was diagnosed by NCEP criterion, \u03b2-carotene inadequacy was higher (42.8%) when compared to the total sample (37.5%). There was a significant difference between average \u03b2-carotene values of patients with and without metabolic syndrome (p=0.048) according to the classification of the NCEP. Lower values were found in patients with metabolic syndrome. Conclusion: Considering the vitamin A contribution in antioxidant protection, especially when risk factors for cardiovascular disease are present, it is suggested that great attention be given to morbidly obese. This could aid in prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease, which affects a significant part of the population. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1024\/0300-9831\/a000018","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,1,13]],"date-time":"2011-01-13T03:32:39Z","timestamp":1294889559000},"page":"159-167","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Serum Retinol and \u03b2-carotene Levels and Risk Factors for Cardiovascular Disease in Morbid Obesity"],"prefix":"10.31083","volume":"80","author":[{"given":"Gabriela","family":"Villa\u00e7a Chaves","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Nutri\u00e7\u00e3o Social e Aplicada, Instituto de Nutri\u00e7\u00e3o, Centro de Ci\u00eancias da Sa\u00fade, Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, (Department of Social and Applied Nutrition, Nutrition Institute, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro)"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gisele","family":"Gon\u00e7alves de Souza","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Nutri\u00e7\u00e3o Social e Aplicada, Instituto de Nutri\u00e7\u00e3o, Centro de Ci\u00eancias da Sa\u00fade, Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, (Department of Social and Applied Nutrition, Nutrition Institute, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro)"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andr\u00e9a","family":"Cardoso de Matos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Nutri\u00e7\u00e3o Social e Aplicada, Instituto de Nutri\u00e7\u00e3o, Centro de Ci\u00eancias da Sa\u00fade, Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, (Department of Social and Applied Nutrition, Nutrition Institute, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro)"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dra.
