Abstract
Blood plasma ascorbic acid values obtained by a survey of 345 college women showed the freshmen to have a mean value of 0.67 mg. % which was significantly lower than the mean value of 0.84 mg. % of the upper-classmen. The values obtained in this survey agree well both in means and distribution with findings of other workers using comparable methods of analysis for similar populations differing in locality. Correlation based on a linear relationship of estimated dietary intake of ascorbic acid to blood plasma levels was limited and suggested that (a) such procedure in estimating dietaries is unsatisfactory and/or (b) other factors operate in this relationship.Keywords
