As a part of the health survey conducted form July 15 to August 15, 1973, the values of hemoglobin, hematocrit, and MCHC were measured and analyzed. Results obtained are as follows:
1. The mean walue of hemoglobin from 410 males was 14.35g/dl with 1.82 standard deviation ranging from 19.0g/dl to 8.1g/dl, whilst that of 442 females was 12.88g/dl(S.D.=1.81) with range of 7.1g/dl∼19.0g/dl.
2. The mean value value of hematocrit of 234 males was 46.06% with 4.85 S.D. The value ranged from 35% to 59%: that of 256 females was 42.13% ranging from 30% to 50% (S.D.=4.57).
3. The mean value of MCHC of 134 males was 31.67% with 3.12 S.D. and range of 23%∼39.4%; that of 125 females was 31.28% with 3.59 S.D. and range of 23.0%∼39.4%.
4. The correlation coefficient r berween hemoglobin and hematocrit was 0.625 with sample numer 259. The regression equation was y=1.703x÷21.229.
5. The proportion of low hemoglobin (＜12.5g/dl for male and＜11.0g/dl for female) was significantly high among ill-health group when compared with healthy group(3.4%); the percoent of persons with low hemoglobin was high for male in group with diseases of digestive system(43.5%), and for female in groups with diseases of digestive ssystem(26.3%), cheilosis and ulceration of oral mucous membrane (30.2%), and pregnancy(60.0%).
6. The correlation between hemoglobin and body surface area for healthy adult males revealed that the r was 0.49(N=73) and the regression equation y=0.03x＋1.16.
7. It was assumed that the discrepancies of hemoglobin, hematocrit, and MCHC values between urban (data from other´s study) and rural areas may have been attributed by the difference in their nutritional regimen, degree of parasitic infestation, and probaly in method of measurements.
8. The values of hemoglobin, hematocrit, and MCHC are generally lower for rural population than for urban population, which makes one to consider revaluation of standard value in use for both populations.
