[Red cell indices in the aged. 1 726 patients over the age of 70 (author's transl)].
Statistical analysis of red cell constants in 1 726 patients over the age of 70 shows that red cell counts, hemoglobin and hematocrits are slightly lower than those in young adults. However, the quality of the red cells is normal, because the MCV (mean cell volume) and MCHC (mean cell hemoglobin concentration) are normal.
