摘要：

The influence of a supplement containing all essential vitamins and trace-elements previously demonstrated to enhance immunity and reduce infection was tested on 18 elderly individuals and 18 age-sex matched controls in the age range 51-78 years. The treated group suffered from respiratory infections for fewer days (14 +/- 2) compared with placebo controls (29-4) (p < 0.03). The number of days of antibiotic usage was also less in those receiving the supplement (27 +/- 4 days, versus 58 +/- 5 days in controls, p < 0.02). It is recommended that all older persons above 50 years of age should be given such a supplement on a regular basis. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Inc. All rights reserved.
