Yes, it's supposed to be higher in an older person than in a younger person, but it still tells you something. It's a marker for cardiovascular risk. So if you have any risk factors for cardiovascular disease, this test would be good in any event. It's terrible Medicare doesn't cover it, it's a basic test I believe.


> I asked for this blood test two years ago at a routine check up as used to be called. Was told that medicaire would not cover the test. And that as one got older you would expect it to be higher than a younger person. Any truth to this? Thanks P
