(Received June 29/July 26, 1994) Summary: Serum total sialic acid has gained recent interest äs a cardiovascular risk factor. We measured serum total sialic acid and three acute phase proteins; C-reactive protein, arantichymotrypsin and <xracid glycoprotein in 37 geriatric patients (age 80.1 ± 7.0 years) and 50 younger subjects (age 40.3 ±11.4 years). Serum total sialic acid was higher in the geriatric subjects 2.41 ± 0.39 mmol/1 versus 2.04 ± 0.35 mmol/1, P < 0.04. Serum {-acid glycoprotein, cti-antichymotrypsin and C-reactive protein were also elevated in the geriatric patients; serum a!-acid glycoprotein being 1.16 ± 0.32 g/l versus 0.41 ± 0.28 g/l, P < 0.0001, serum arantichymotrypsin being 0.80 ± 0.20 g/l versus 0.52 ± 0.10 g/l, P < 0.0001 and serum C-reactive protein being 9.71 ± 21.0 http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine de Gruyter
