Objective To investigate the healthy adults in Heyuan area of serum N terminal pro brain natriuretic peptide (N‐proBNP) concentration distribution and the preliminary investigation on the normal reference range .Methods From 2010 Novem‐ber to 2012 November in the physical examination ,laboratory examination center of our hospital indicators ,ECG ,B ultrasound ex‐amination showed no abnormalities of the healthy people 1 017 ,according to the different gender and age :A group less than 25 years ,group B was 25- <35 years ,35- <45 years ,group C ,group D 45- <55 years ,55- <65 years of E group ,F group for over 65 years a total of 6 age groups ,content determination of serum N‐proBNP by Roche chemical instrument light .Results age ,gen‐der can affect the distribution of N‐proBNP level ,and with the increase of age ,adjacent to the age groups (except F group) to com‐pare the serum levels of N‐proBNP ,the difference was statistically significant (P<0 .05);Compared with the F group in each age group was significantly increased(P<0 .05) ,there was statistical significance compared with the group ;the serum N‐proBNP level of different sex ,the difference was statistically significant (P<0 .05) .Conclusion age ,gender and other physiological factors can affect the distribution of N‐proBNP levels ,should establish the corresponding reference interval according to the different age ,gen‐der ,provide the corresponding parameters for the diagnosis and treatment of related diseases .
