Abstract

|
|
For the purpose of obtaining information concerning hemoglobin and hematocrit values of preschool and school children in a rural Korean, a survey were conducted on 82 preschool children and 471 school children residing in Dongnae area, Shindong Myun, Choon Seong Gun, Kang Won province from June 12 to June 21, 1973.
The results are summerized as follow;
1) The mean hemoglobin level in bodys was 11.3gm% with the standard deviation of 1.0 and in girls was 11.2 gm% with 0.9 standard deviation. No significant differences were observed in the hemoglobin level of both sexes.
About 73.4% of children hadlow hemoglobin (<11.0 gm% for preschool age and <12.0gm% for school children).
2) The mean hematocrit level in boys was 36.l%(S.D. 2.2) and that in girls was 36.0% (S.D. 2.4). There were no significant sex differences in hematocrit level, also.
With the hemoglobin values, the mean hemotocrit values were higher among the school children than that of preschool age.
3) Mean value of MCHC of boys was 31.4%(S.D.2.1), and that of girls was 31.3%(S.D. 2.0) with no significant sex and age differences.
4) The correlation coefficient between hemoglobin and hematocrit value was 0.616. No significant correlations were observed between hemoglobin level and growth or nutritional indices, such as height, weight and indices of Oppenheimer, Kondo or Messerli etc.
