Abstract

Protein and zinc status were assessed in 24 community based and 66 institutionalised elderly Australians, aged 60 to 99 years. Serum albumin concentrations were significantly related to both protein intake (r = 0.36, P less than 0.001) and zinc intake (r = 0.33, P less than 0.001). Plasma zinc concentrations were not related to zinc intake (r = 0.12, P greater than 0.05) or to protein intake (r = 0.007, P greater than 0.05). Thus in aged persons with low serum albumin, it would appear useful to consider both protein and zinc intake.

摘要

对24名居住在社区以及66名居住在养老院的60至99岁澳大利亚老年人的蛋白质和锌状况进行了评估。血清白蛋白浓度与蛋白质摄入量（r = 0.36，P < 0.001）和锌摄入量（r = 0.33，P < 0.001）均显著相关。血浆锌浓度与锌摄入量（r = 0.12，P > 0.05）或蛋白质摄入量（r = 0.007，P > 0.05）均无关联。因此，对于血清白蛋白水平较低的老年人，考虑蛋白质和锌的摄入量似乎是有益的。
