AB  - OBJECTIVE: Dietary intake and nutritional status of antioxidant vitamins have 
      been reported to protect against some cancers. The objective of the present study 
      was to assess the correlations between serum levels of carotenoids (including 
      beta-, alpha- and gamma-carotene), lycopene, retinol, alpha- and 
      gamma-tocopherols, and dietary intakes estimated by an FFQ, among low-income 
      women in the Brazilian Investigation into Nutrition and Cervical Cancer 
      Prevention (BRINCA) study. DESIGN: Cross-sectional study of data for 918 women 
      aged 21-65 years participating in the BRINCA study in Sao Paulo city. Multiple 
      linear regression models were used with serum nutrient levels as the dependent 
      variable and dietary intake levels as the independent variable, adjusted for 
      confounding factors. RESULTS: In energy-adjusted analyses, the intakes of dark 
      green and deep yellow vegetables and fruits (partial R2 = 4.8 %), total fruits 
      and juices (partial R2 = 1.8 %), vegetables and fruits (partial R2 = 1.8 %), 
      carrots (partial R2 = 1.4 %) and citrus fruits and juices only (partial R2 = 0.8 
      %) were positively correlated only with serum total carotene levels, after 
      adjusting for serum total cholesterol concentration, age, hospital attended, 
      smoking status, BMI and presence of cervical lesions. Multiple-adjusted serum 
      levels of carotenoids were positively correlated with intake quartiles of dark 
      green and deep yellow vegetables and fruits and total fruits and juices 
      independent of smoking status. CONCLUSIONS: The intake of specific fruits and 
      vegetables was an independent predictor of serum total carotene levels in 
      low-income women living in Sao Paulo.
