Variation with age of reference values for P-cobalamins.
P-cobalamins were recorded on plasma from 279 persons (age interval 20-80 years) who participated in a population survey. The values obtained showed a decrease in the mean and a broadening of the reference interval with age. The justification of employing one reference interval, 200-650 pmol/l, is discussed.
