To determine dietary intakes of vitamin A, carotenoids, vitamin E, and tocopherols of Korean adults by gender, 3 consecutive 24‐h food recalls were collected from 108 healthy adults (75 females, 33 males), aged 20–59 y, living in Seoul, Korea. The daily vitamin A intake (mean ± SD) was 893.7 ± 401.3 μg retinol equivalents (RE) or 539.0 ± 233.1 retinol activity equivalents (RAE). Provitamin A carotenoid intakes were 468.8 ± 315.3 μg/d alpha‐carotene, 3817 ± 2184 μg/d beta‐carotene, and 410.9 ± 304.1 μg/d beta‐cryptoxanthin. The daily vitamin E intake was 17.64 ± 14.22 mg alpha‐tocopherol equivalents (ATE), and alpha‐tocopherol was 5.72 ± 5.77 mg/d. There was no significant difference in vitamin A and carotenoid intakes between females and males. The vitamin E and gamma‐tocopherol intakes of males were significantly higher than those of females (p<0.001). Approximately 11% of the subjects consumed
