Analytical Investigation of Li+ Na+ K+ Ca2+ and Mg2+ Levels in Human Blood Serum of Cholistan Desert Population

Hot, arid and sandy Cholistan deserl livlOg people have poor food habit due to their low socIOeconomIc status. Thirty indIvidual's blood samples were ana lysed by alomlC absorption spectrophotometer. Average levels were for Ll' (9.79 ± 2), Na + (3 I 13 ± 2), K' (156 ± 3), Ca'+ (109 ± 2) and Mg'+ (35 ± 9). Li+ and Ca'+ were observed higher than the normal person levels, Na+ and K+ within the normal range and variable levels for Mg" were also found. A strong positive correlation was observed by pairs like Na'-K+ (r = 0.465), Na'-Ca'+ (r = 0.376) and K+-Ca'+ (r = 0.360) and negative correlation was observed by pairs like Li'­Na+ (r = -0.091), Li'-K+ (r = -0.036) and K+-Mg'+ (r = -0059) All levels have showed negative skewness except for Mg'+ and posItive Kurlosis for Na' and K+.
