Abstract

A randomized controlled trial of the effect of 1 g ascorbic acid per day in the prevention of the common cold was conducted on 688 adult women. There is evidence of a small reduction by vitamin C in the mean number of chest colds, but no evidence of any effect on simple colds. The existence of a subgroup of vulnerable women in the community who benefit from vitamin C was considered but further examination of the data gives no support to this conclusion.

维生素C预防和改善普通感冒的随机对照试验。
对688名成年女性进行了一项随机对照试验,研究每天服用1g抗坏血酸预防普通感冒的效果。有证据表明,服用维生素C可以减少患胸感冒的平均次数,但没有证据表明它对单纯性感冒有任何影响。人们认为,社区中存在一个弱势妇女亚群,她们受益于维生素C,但对数据的进一步研究并未支持这一结论。
