Abstract
The analysis of variance indicated a significant (P < 0.05) effect of age and gender on serum copper of all the study groups except control group. Multiple comparisons of mean serum concentration of copper in hypertensive patients belonging to different age and gender indicated that age did not affect the serum copper level in hypertensive males. Below 50 years gender did not appear to affect the copper concentration in serum. Similarly the serum copper level did not differ significantly in males above 50 years and females less than 50 years. All other comparisons were statistically significant (P < 0.05).
