Plasma retinol is the most common assessment method for determining vitamin A status. The severity stages of xerophthalmia, along with their characteristics, are used frequently to follow clinical signs of vitamin A deficiency.

The results were decreased in the risk of night blindness, incidence of keratomalacia and Bitot's spots, and lower mortality rate. |
