Understanding Optimal Serum Ferritin Levels for Men in Their 50s

Question
What is the optimum serum ferritin level for a man in his late 50's?  Thank you!

Answer
depending on the lab, strictly in the "normal range."  It doesn't change over time and it is a reflection of your body's iron stores....  if it is in the normal range and your CBC (Hb and Hct) are normal, then that is the end of it.  If it is really really high, then you have to worry about hemachromatosis.... an excessive iron storage disease.  I hope this helps
