Question
Are the test results for my child’s mineral elements normal? The report shows copper 15.22, iron 7.28, magnesium 1.65, zinc 96.46, and calcium 2.07. Are these indicators normal?
Answer
The mineral element indicators for the child are within the normal range. The normal range for calcium is 1.55-2.10 μmol/L (actual value is 1.76), for iron it is 7.52-11.82 μmol/L (actual value is 8.12), for zinc it is 58-100 μmol/L for ages over 1 year, 62-120 μmol/L for ages 3-6, and 76.5-140 μmol/L for ages under 15 (actual value is 71.8), for copper it is 11.8-39.3 μmol/L (actual value is 22.9), and for magnesium it is 1.12-2.06 μmol/L. There are no deficiencies in any mineral elements in the child’s current test results, so parents can rest assured. It is still important to pay attention to the child’s diet to maintain good nutritional intake.
