Abstrakt: Serum Se concentrations and dietary Se intakes have been determined in relation to age, sex, ethnicity, region and index of deprivation in a nationally representative sample of New Zealand children aged 5???14 years from the 2002 National Children's Nutrition Survey. Dietary intake was assessed from computer-assisted, multiple-pass 24??h diet recall interviews (n 3275). Serum Se concentrations were obtained from a subset of urban-based children (n 1547). Mean (95??% CI) serum Se concentration in children was 0??96 (0??93, 1??00) ??mol/l. Males (1??00????mol/l) had higher serum Se levels than females (0??93????mol/l; P??=??0??027). M??ori children had lower serum Se than Pacific Islands children (P??=??0??038) and New Zealand European and Other children (P??=??0??005). Children in the Upper North Island (1??06????mol/l) had higher mean serum Se values than those in the Lower North Island (0??98????mol/l, P??
