BACKGROUND: The deficiency of vitamin E (DVE) is not well known in Brazil, but the international scenario data show that this is a nutritional deficiency that affects children under two years. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the factors associated with the nutritional status of vitamin E in infants users of the Basic Health Care Goiânia-GO. METHODS: This is a cross-sectional study with a sample of 228 children aged 11 to 15 months, met in the Basic Health Units of Goiânia-GO. The study endpoint was the serum concentration of α-tocopherol, and the nutritional status of vitamin deficiency and was identified by serum α-tocopherol values less than 11.6 μmol/L. To analyze the relationship of the independent variables (socioeconomic, demographic, anthropometric, environmental, biochemical, morbidities, breastfeeding and food) on the log of serum α-tocopherol multiple linear regression was performed. RESULTS: The median serum concentration of α-tocopherol was 3.6 μmol/L, and vitamin deficiency and occurrence was 82,0%. Factors associated with log serum concentration of α-tocopherol showed that each year of study and each maternal retinol unit causes increase of 0,168 μmol/L and 0,890 μmol/L, respectively. CONCLUSION: The log of α-tocopherol serum concentration was positively associated with maternal education and serum retinol concentration. Measures to prevent this deficiency health facilities should be incorporated as an incentive healthy complementary feeding, food fortification with vitamin E and government investment in parent education.
