The levels of beta-thromboglobulin (BTG) have been measured in the blood of 22 male and 22 female elderly patients who gave a past history of stroke, and in 31 males and 88 females of comparable age who gave no such history. Comparisons were made within and between the groups. In the stroke patients the relationship between BTG and age was not significant for either sex, nor was there a difference between the sexes. In the BTG/time from stroke relationship the females showed significantly higher levels the longer the time that had elapsed since the stroke, and this could not be explained solely by the factor of ageing. For males, on the other hand, there was a non-significant fall in BTG with days from stroke. In 'normal' subjects the BTG/age relationship was significant in females but not in males. No significant differences were demonstrated between the BTG/age relationships between the stroke and control groups and this was true for both sexes. The potential value of estimations of BTG in the elderly is discussed.
对22名有中风病史的老年男性患者和22名有中风病史的老年女性患者，以及31名年龄相仿但无中风病史的男性和88名年龄相仿但无中风病史的女性的血液中的β-血小板球蛋白（BTG）水平进行了测量。对组内和组间进行了比较。在中风患者中，BTG与年龄之间的关系在两性中均不显著，两性之间也没有差异。在BTG/中风后的时间关系中，女性在中风后经过的时间越长，其BTG水平越高，这不能仅用衰老因素来解释。另一方面，对于男性，BTG水平随中风后的天数有不显著的下降。在“正常”受试者中，BTG与年龄的关系在女性中显著，在男性中不显著。中风组和对照组之间的BTG/年龄关系没有显著差异，两性均如此。讨论了在老年人中估计BTG的潜在价值。
