“…After being taught to accurately estimate food portion size, the volunteers kept a detailed history of food intake for three consecutive days. The choline content of foods was coded by food item and amount and analyzed for choline composition by use of a computerized nutrient data base (1981 edition) obtained from Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, Ohio, and other published tables based on intake of protein, specifically organ meats such as liver, kidneys, and heart; legumes; and eggs 9–11 . The intake of the three‐day period was then averaged.…”

This study was designed to obtain information on normal dietary intake and serum levels of choline in a healthy elderly population and to observe the relationship between blood levels of choline and cognitive function. Two hundred fifty-eight healthy volunteers with a mean age of 72 years were recruited, and blood samples and dietary histories were obtained. All subjects were ambulatory, living at home, free of serious medical illnesses, and taking no prescription medications. Cognitive abilities were assessed by the Halstead Category Test, a nonverbal test measuring abstract thinking, and the Wechsler Memory Scale, using the multiple scoring method, which measures both long- and short-term memory. The mean value for serum choline was 13.16 micron with a standard deviation of 3.31. Serum choline levels were found to increase with age, but no difference was found between serum choline levels for men and women. There was no association between dietary intake and serum choline levels, nor could a relationship be found between serum choline levels and cognitive function.
