Abstract:
Mean values and reference ranges are presented for serum creatinine and serum urea in Melanesian men and women aged over 50 years from coastal Papua. The values are presented separately for three age groups, 51-60, 61-70 and 71-85 years, but there was no significant difference between them. The values for women were lower than for men in all age groups.
