title: [Alcohol and changes in the hematopoietic system; an epidemiological contribution to the problem of alcoholic anemia].
abstract: In the course of the "Vienna Health Study 1979" 1261 males and 1548 females divided into 3 age categories (25, 40 and 60 years), were investigated for serum iron level, RBC, leucocytes, haemoglobin, haematocrit, MCH, MVC, MCHC, GOT, GPT and AP. These parameters were evaluated in correlation to the drinking habits of each proband. Significant correlations were found between alcohol consumption and serum iron (elevation in most cases), RBC (decrease), MCV (elevation) and GOT (elevation).
