Abstract

Aim of the present study is to find out the correlation if any, between glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) levels and age of non-diabetic people.This study included 246 non-diabetic subjects who were grouped according to age and gender. Their HbA1c levels were estimated by ion- resin method. Average blood glucose was also calculated. Results came out to be as expected. There was significant association between age and HbA1c levels. Glycosylated Hb varies with age and this should be considered, whenever HbA1c levels are to be measured to assess the level of glycemic control especially in elderly diabetic people.

Key words: glycosylated, age, gender, hemoglobin
