    (Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 1905-07-08) Apagüeño Chistama, Remberto; Sandoval Vegas, Miguel Hernán
    Objective: To determine the serum concentrations of glucose, urea, creatinine, and hemoglobin levels in elderly adults in a geriatric hospital in Lima. Materials and Methods: A selection of 317 elderly patients of both sexes was made. This study is descriptive and prospective, with a non-interventional design. The results were analyzed statistically using descriptive statistics and chi-square tests. According to sex, there was no significant difference between males and females concerning glucose, urea, creatinine, and hemoglobin levels. However, a significant difference was found in the three age groups of elderly adults: those aged 60-74 years (considered advanced age), 75-90 years (considered old or elderly), and those over 91 years (considered very old or extreme elderly). A significant difference in urea levels was found in patients considered elderly and very old. Similarly, there was a significant difference in hemoglobin levels in those considered elderly and very old.
