Extract: Zinc status was evaluated in 99 elderly patients. Sixty-seven percent had plasma zinc levels and three patients erythrocyte zinc levels below the range reported for younger adults. Urinary zinc levels were within the range for younger adults. Serum alkaline phosphatase and lactic dehydrogenase were not specific indicators of zinc nutriture. The majority of subjects had an adequate supply of zinc-rich foods. Zinc status appears to be adequate in this population. (Author)
