This study was intended to assess the different blood parameters of the inmates of an old age home situated nearby to North Bengal Medical College.Estimation of Serum lipid profile, fasting blood glucose, urea, creatinine, uric acid, were done from the blood collected from a total number of 66(33 male and 33 female ) inmates of the old age home. In our observation among  66 subjects; Mean value + SD of serum Cholesterol, serum Triglyceride, serum HDL Cholesterol, LDL Cholesterol, LDL/HDL cholesterol Ratio, fasting blood glucose serum urea, creatinine and uric acid were 163.48+28.012,132.91+78.206,43.515+8.868,100.06+25.09,2.36+0.71,110.636+41.86, 33.015+10.79 ,0.988+0.22, and 5.122+1.32 respectively.

All the same parmeters were estimated separately in 33 male and 33 female .There Mean value + SD values of total Cholesterol,serum Triglyceride, serum HDL Cholesterol, LDL Cholesterol, LDL/HDL cholesterol Ratio, fasting blood gucocse serum urea, uric acid and creatinine, in case of male were 108+4.793,56+76.76049, 30+5.395705, 56+27.80281, 2.497+0.823, 78+22.87619, 10+9.120511,3+1.509164 and 0.7+0.232859 respectively; where as in case of female  mean value + SDof serum Triglyceride, serum HDL Cholesterol, LDL Cholesterol, LDL/HDL cholesterol Ratio, fasting blood glucose serum urea, uric acid and creatinine were 97+28.49206, 43+80.6779,28+10.49603,49+22.42969,  2.224+0.546,79+55.10503,16+12.36687 ,2.8+1.114377,and 0.7+0.21497 respectively. Comparative study was done among respective values of male and female and no statistically significant difference were found(p > 0.05) between each respective values of male and female though all the values of male were slightly higher than those of female. More over all the parameters were near to normal value similar to that age group.

 It may be concluded from this study that after certain age there occurs little differences in the blood parameters between male and female and it remainalmost near to normal except in severe deterioration of body function due to gross organ damage.[1]
