The normal sedimentation rate (Westergren method) for males is 0-15 millimeters per hour, and for females is 0-20 millimetres per hour. The sedimentation rate can be slightly more elevated in the elderly and is much lower for children.

A sedimentation rate is raised when there is some sort of inflammation either as the result of infection or an autoimmune condition like Rheumatoid Arthritis.
