title: [Age dependence, sex independence and reference values of serum fructosamine determined using a new colorimetry method].
abstract: Reference ranges were evaluated for a new colorimetric method for the determination of fructosamine in serum. The reference group was composed of 1114 non-diabetics of both sexes including children. Reference values are only slightly affected by age and sex. In the course of childhood to adolescence fructosamine values raise and finally stabilize in adults. The small differences between both sexes have no effect on the interpretation of clinical results. Relating fructosamine values to albumin or total protein has little impact on the distribution of the values when protein values were within the reference range.
