Zusammenfassung:	The association between serum selenium concentration and five-year risk of cardiovascular disease was studied in 1,110 men aged 55 to 74 years in two rural areas of Finland. In the total cohort, all-cause and cardiovascular deaths were associated significantly with serum selenium of less than 45 μg/liter, an adjusted relative risk of 1.4 (95% confidence interval (Cl), 1.0–2.0, p
