Background: Serum tryptase measurements are increasingly being used in clinical practice. However, there is a paucity of studies focused on factors that influence tryptase concentrations. We investigated the relationships between total tryptase concentrations and age, gender, atopy, alcohol consumption, smoking, and common metabolic abnormalities in adults.Methods: This was a cross-sectional study of a random sample from an adult population (n=420, age 18-92 years, 45% males) from a single municipality. Serum total tryptase was measured using a fluoro-enzyme immunoassay.Results: The median tryptase concentration was 5.1 mu g/L (range,
