I am a retired female above 60 years of age. Does age matter for a CRP Test?

Not exactly but post-menopausal women on hormone replacement therapy will usually have a higher-than-normal CRP level.

CRP is therefore a test of value in medicine, reflecting the presence and intensity of inflammation, although an elevation in C-reactive protein is not the telltale diagnostic sign of any one condition because of the fact that inflammation in any part of the body will increase the CRP concentration in the blood stream. Other tests must be done in conjunction to find the root cause of inflammation. Nevertheless, CRP is an important marker for risk assessment in patients and should be monitored closely using hs-CRP test!
