title: Selenium status of elderly Austrians suffering from circulation disorders.
abstract: Whole blood selenium status of 299 persons, 144 women and 155 men, with a mean age of 62 +/- 10 years, has been determined. The individuals came from all Austrian provinces to Bad Hall to improve their heart and circulation disorders. The mean selenium content was 95 micrograms/l. We found no correlations between selenium levels and GSH-peroxidase, cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol and triglycerides.
