2004–2005 Series: Update Sessions from ACP's 2004 Annual Session
This year's Update in Infectious Diseases incorporates articles on common infections, HIV medicine, therapeutics, bioterrorism, and emerging infections.
Barringer TA, Kirk JK, Santaniello AC, et al. Effect of a multivitamin and mineral supplement on infection and quality of life. A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. Ann Intern Med. 2003;138:365-71. [PMID: 12614088]
Although about 20% of U.S. adults take a combination multivitamin and mineral supplement daily, the health benefits are largely unknown. Supplements may improve the immunologic defects associated with micronutrient malnutrition. To learn more, the investigators in this randomized, double-blind trial divided 130 community-based adults by age (45 to 64 years or ≥65 years) and presence of type 2 diabetes mellitus and assigned them randomly to receive a daily multivitamin and mineral supplement or placebo. The primary end point was the incidence of participant-reported infection.
