Description

Abstract: Generally, chronological age is used to measure aging, and an older person is often called elderly if he or she is 65 or over. The aim was to assess the serum sodium, bicarbonate and potassium levels of Geriatrics in Ekpoma Edo State. A total of one hundred (100) subjects was recruited for this study which will consists of fifty (50) non elderly subjects and fifty (50) apparently healthy elders subjects as control in Ekpoma, Edo State. Subjects data such as name, age and gender was obtained. Sodium, potassium and bicarbonate was estimated using Ion selective electrode . The mean and standard deviation of control group for sodium (mmol/L) was 124.5417±19.3704  and test was 128.9600±15.85739. For Potassium (mmol/l), the control was 4.1625±0.65129. For Bicarbonate (mmol/l), the control was 19.4583±9.98250 while for the test it was 21.760±11.801. However, a  non statistical (P>0.05)  significant was observed . However, a non significant was observed when compared to the control and there was no significant. In conclusion, the result from this study showed that no significant difference was observed in geriatric electrolytes levels and even in relation to sex. More studies can be carried out to confirm the result of this study. Elderly individuals should take more solutions to improve their electrolytes levels.

Keywords: chronological age, older person, serum sodium, bicarbonate and potassium levels, electrolytes levels.
