This study was conducted to assess the biochemical nutritional status of 310 elderly(males:130, females:180) residing in Puchon City. Subjects were apparently healthy, home staying and aged over 60. Average height of males and females were 163.2㎝ and 148.5㎝, respectively. Female aged over 80 showed 148.5㎝, which was significantly lower than that of group aged 60~69. The rate of moderate obesity for males assessed with BMI(≥27) was 7.7%, and 23.4% for females. The hypertension rate assessed by SBP(≥160mmHg) was 8.0% and 10.5% for males and females, respectively. The proportion of hypertension with indice of DBP(≥95mmHg) was 9.4% and 23.4%. The lower concentration of lib (males: ＜13g/dl, females: ＜12g/dI) occurred in 10.7% for males and 11.7% for females. No one except a few was found with protein deficiency assessed with serum albumin, serum protein and the ratio of urinary nitrogen to creatinin. Twenty five percent of males and 35.2% of females belonged to hypercholesterolemia(≥240㎎/dI). The proportion of elderly whose fasting blood sugar was higher than 140㎎/dl was 23.7% and 23.2%.
