To have an understanding of the impact of each of various life styles on the hematologic findings, 2,642 healthy male workers were investigated, who participated in the general health check-up in a university hospital during the 2-year period from Jan. 1, 1998 to Dec. 31, 1999, in terms of the relation between such factors as age, smoking, drinking and exercise, and each of their hematologic values. The results were as follows: Blue collar workers showed significantly higher level of hemoglobin, hematocrit, each of corpuscular values of erythrocyte(MCV, MCH, and MCHC), and neutrophil count as well as total leukocytes, than white collar workers. Based on age, the older age group showed significantly lower levels of hemoglobin while significantly higher levels in hemoglobin, hematocrit, each of corpuscular values of erythrocyte. In addition, the older age group showed significantly higher counts of neutrophil, lymphocyte, eosinophil, basophil as well as total leukocytes. The smoking group showed increased level, over non-smoking group, of such hematologic determination as hemoglobin, hematocrit, MCV, MCH, MCHC, total leukocytes, and counts of neutrophil, lymphocyte, eosinophil. The more smoking years were associated with significantly higher level of hemoglobin, hematocrit, MCV, MCH, total leukocytes, counts of neutrophil, lymphocyte and eosinophil, and the more cigarettes-a-day with significantly higher level of hemoglobin, total leukocytes, counts of lymphocyte and eosniophil. Irrespective of smoking status, the significantly higher levels of hematocrit, MCV, MCH, total leukocytes, neutrophil counts were found according to the increasing age. The drinking group showed, over non-drinking group, significantly higher level of total leukocytes, and specifically the group with the higher intake of drinking per occasion were associated with the significantly levels of hemoglobin, total leukocytes, eosinophil counts. The simple correlation among each determination of hematologic values revealed the signficantly normal correlation among hematocrit, MCV, MGH, MCHC, total leukocytes, counts of neutrophil and lymphocytes.
