SERUM FERRITIN AND AGEING

GIORGI CASALE, Assistant, CARLO BONORA, Clinical Pathologist, ANNA MIGLIAVACCA, Clinical Pathologist, IVAN E. ZURITA, Fellow (Sao Paulo, Brazil)* and PIETRO de NICOLA, Professor and Director

The level of serum ferritin of 226 selected subjects, aged 20 to 93, showed an age-related tendency to rise and in every age studied it was higher in males than in fernales. This finding is considered to be a consequence of the activation of the reticuloendothelial system and of the increase of iron storage with ageing.
