Abstract
The effects of age and sex on the serum levels of trace elements were determined after an overnight fast in 80 ambulatory, disease-free adults who had undergone rigorous health screening. Significant age and sex differences were found for Mn. Blood levels of Cu and Zn showed both age and sex differences. No age or sex differences were found for Pb, Cd, Cr, Ni, Se, and Al.
