State-of-the-Science Conference:
Multivitamin/Mineral Supplements and
Chronic Disease Prevention; Notice
Notice is hereby given of the National
Institutes of Health (NIH) ‘‘State-of-theScience Conference: Multivitamin/
Mineral Supplements and Chronic
Disease Prevention’’ to be held May 15–
17, 2006, in the NIH Natcher Conference
Center, 45 Center Drive, Bethesda,
Maryland 20892. The conference will
begin at 8:30 a.m. on May 15 and 16,
and at 9 a.m. on May 17, and will be
open to the public.
It is estimated that more than onethird of American adults take
multivitamin/mineral (MVM)
supplements regularly.
Recommendations regarding
supplement use from expert groups vary
widely, as does the strength of the
evidence supporting such guidelines. As
more and more Americans seek
strategies for maintaining good health
and preventing disease, and as the
marketplace offers an increasing number
of products to fill that desire, it is
important that consumers have the best
possible information to inform their
choices.
The Office of Dietary Supplements
and the Office of Medical Applications
of Research of the NIH will convene a
State-of-the-Science Conference on
Multivitamin/Mineral Supplements and
Chronic Disease Prevention, May 15 to
17, 2006, in Bethesda, Maryland. The
goal of the conference is to assess the
evidence available on MVM use and
outcomes for chronic disease prevention

in adults and to make recommendations
for future research. Specifically, the
conference will explore the following
key questions:
• What are the current patterns and
prevalence of the public’s use of MVM
supplements?
• What is known about the dietary
nutrient intake of MVM users versus
non-users?
• What is the efficacy of single
vitamin/mineral supplement use in
chronic disease prevention?
• What is the efficacy of MVM in
chronic disease prevention in the
general population of adults?
• What is known about the safety of
MVM for the generally healthy
population?
• What are the major knowledge gaps
and research opportunities regarding
MVM use?
An impartial, independent panel will
be charged with reviewing the available
published literature in advance of the
conference, including a systematic
literature review commissioned through
the Agency for Healthcare Research and
Quality. The first day and a half of the
conference will consist of presentations
by expert researchers and practitioners
and open public discussions. On
Wednesday, May 17, the panel will
present a statement of its collective
assessment of the evidence to answer
each of the questions above. The panel
will also hold a press conference to
address questions from the media. The
draft statement will be published online
later that day, and the final version will
be released approximately six weeks
later.
The primary sponsors of this meeting
are the NIH Office of Dietary
Supplements and the NIH Office of
Medical Applications of Research.

Tobacco use remains the Nation’s
leading preventable cause of premature
death. Each year, more than 440,000
Americans die from disease caused by
tobacco use, accounting for one in every
five deaths. Cigarette smoking alone is
responsible for more than 30 percent of
cancer deaths annually in the U.S., and
