title: The features of the full blood analysis in the gerontological age groups in the North-West area of Azerbaijan.
abstract: The present work is devoted to the study of full blood test analysis in the geriatric age group in the North-West part of Azerbaijan, where level of longevity is not studied. The results of our analysis showed that in all three gerontological age groups living in these regions level of hemoglobin and quantity erythrocytes was below the norm. The low level of blood hemoglobin and the quantity of erythrocytes in all gerontological age groups is indicative of anemia in these areas. No deviations from the norm were observed in the levels of leukocytes and platelets. In the analysis of the data showing the dynamics blood sedimentation test in regard to age, in all gerontological age groups of these regions this index was identical and tended to approach the highest normal level. On the basis of our analyses it is possible notice that coagulation time in the studies age groups was shorter and slightly differed from the normal index. All these processes substantially affect the longevity index and active longevity in the population of the Zagatala and Gakh regions.
