In this article, we have explored the establishment of multiple parameter reference intervals for different age groups in Qingdao, China. According to the age of subjects, the healthy adult population of different ages in Qingdao was randomly selected as the research object. According to the age of subjects, they were divided into 18–24-year-old, 25–39-year-old, 40–49-year-old, 50–64-year-old, and >65-year-old groups, respectively. The sample size of each age group was 120 male and female samples, and 60 male and female samples of >65-year-old subjects were selected. The data of subjects were collected, a questionnaire survey was completed, serum samples were collected, and the parameters of male and female groups of different ages in Qingdao were compared. The parameters of the male and female groups were compared in the same age group. The reference intervals of parameters of the male and female groups were compared in different ages. There were significant differences in the levels of FBG, AST, BUN, Cr, Hb, FT3, TT3, FT4, TT4, VB12, PROG, CYFRA 21-1, and SCC among men of different ages (P65-year-old men were significantly higher than those in 18–24-years-old men, and the levels of Hb, FT3, TT3, FT4, TT4 in >65-year-old men were significantly lower than those in 18–24-year-old men (P
