We sought to determine whether there are age-dependent differences in the demographic and laboratory characteristics of patients with sarcoidosis.\n\n\t \n\n\tMaterials and Methods: We retrospectively collected information from our database using the International Classification of Disease (ICD) diagnostic code D86 between 2008 and 2014. Patients were divided into three groups: 20\u201339 years old (Group 1), 40\u201359 years old (Group 2), and 60\u201380 years old (Group 3).\n\n\t \n\n\tResults: A total of 3988 patients with code of D86 were included in the study. After the exclusion of non-eligible patients, the number of cases in Groups 1, 2, and 3 were 276, 641, and 352, respectively. The groups were compared according to demographic characteristics, ICD diagnostic codes, and laboratory parameters. The ratio of female patients was significantly higher in Group 3 than in Groups 1 and 2 (p=0.000). There was no difference in diagnostic codes of the ICD subgroups between groups (p=0.19). While the level of blood-urea nitrogen was significantly higher in Group 3 patients than in other groups (p=0.000), serum angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) values were found to be significantly low in Group 3 (p=0.010). The mean ACE values did not differ between females and males (50.8\u00b139.3 and 59.1\u00b145.5 mg\/dL, respectively) (p=0.18).\n\n\t \n\n\tConclusion: The majority of patients with sarcoidosis were female in all age groups and pulmonary sarcoidosis was the most common presentation of the disease. Elderly patients (\u226560 years) with sarcoidosis had lower serum ACE levels than younger patients.\n\n\t \n\n\tCite this article as: Durmus Kocak N, Gungor S, Aka Akturk U, et al.
