Plasma zinc and serum albumin were measured in an ostensibly healthy group of volunteers. Calculation of the correlation coefficient showed a small but significant correlation between plasma zinc and serum albumin in the total group studied (r= 0·35, P<0·05), The results indicate that in healthy individuals there is a small but significant correlation between serum filbumin and plasma zinc, but the low degree of correlation would suggest that there are other variables affecting plasma zinc in health. However, the demonstration of this correlation suggests that additional information may be obtained in studies of zinc status by concomitant serum albumin measurement.
