The authors have determined the vitamin A content of the liver in persons who had succumbed to sudden death in Copenhagen in 1939 and 1943 and in Oslo in 1943–4. The values in Oslo after three years of war and severe rationing were higher than in Copenhagen, the population of which had a much milder rationing during the war. The values in Copenhagen for 1943 were somewhat lower than those for 1939. The most plausible explanation of these findings seems to be that the pre-war vitamin A reserve in Norway was high.
