Abstract
No correlation was found between Hb, hematocrit or red blood cells and age in 42 healthy mixed Indians [Argentina] living at 4515 m above sea level. The discrepancy of these results with those of Whittembury and Monge in similar conditions and altitude was discussed and the need for further studies emphasized.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
