title: [Anti-HBc in blood donors. Distribution by sex and age classes].
abstract: Among the 21,341 blood donors who gave their blood in 1990, 638 were anti-HBc positive. There is a significant difference between men and women who are 18 to 22 years old and those who are more than 50 years old. In the first case, this difference can be referred to the heterogeneity of the male population and in the second case, to the aftermath of military campaigns.
