title: [Oxygen tension in the arterial blood and in muscle tissue in healthy persons of different age (author's transl)].
abstract: According to Loew and Thews the oxygen tension in the arterial blood is clearly related to age. The average value for younger persons (age 18-30 years) was 93.7 mmHg whereas the values for the older persons (in this comparison age 50-60 years) was only 76.9 mmHg. Measurements of tissue pO2 in the tibialis anterior muscle did not show statistically significant differences between younger (age 20-30 years, pO2: 32,2 +/- 7,4 mmHg) and older persons (age 50-60 years, pO2 27,2 +/- 4,4 mmHg) who did not suffer from chronic occlusive arterial disease.
