Abstract: | Atomic absorption spectrophotometric method was used to determine the serum selenium levels of 86 healthy individuals. Variations
in age, sex, and geographically different urban regions of Yugoslavia were investigated.
A group of 63 healthy children, ages 8–15 yr, were examined. Mean±standard deviation of the serum selenium concentration was
57±9 μg/L; age and geographic area had no effect on the Se status of children, but the difference between boys and girls was
significant (P<0.05).
A group of 23 men from Zagreb, ages 22–37 yr, were examined. The group was divided into three age subgroups and no difference
was found among these groups. The mean Se concentration was 69±18 μg/L, and a statistically significant difference was found
only between the group of adults and the group of children (P<0.05). |
