ABNORMAL TONGUE APPEARANCES AND VITAMIN STATUS OF THE ELDERLY—A DOUBLE BLIND TRIAL

R. D. M. MACLEOD

Geriatric Unit, Eastern General Hospital Edinburgh

A standardized photographic technique was used to compare the changes occurring on the tongue and face during a year's double blind trial of multivitamin supplements to 80 geriatric patients.

Vitamin supplements did not significantly affect the abnormal tongue appearances, or the signs of angular stomatitis or geographical tongue. The incidence of senile purpura and capillary fragility were likewise unaltered.
