It has been suggested that blood donation reduces risks of developing cardiovascular diseases such as heart failure, atherosclerosis, and stroke. Although there are known benefits of blood donation, the inclination of people of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq to donate blood is not known. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine demograpic and blood biochemical profiles of regular and first-time blood donors in the Sulaimani province of North Iraq.
A cross-sectional study was conducted at the Sulaimani Blood Bank, during the period of April 1, 2016 to March 28, 2017, on convenient samples of 100 regular and 100 first-time blood donors. Donor particulars were obtained from blood bank records. The cholesterol, triglyceride, low-density lipoprotein, ferritin, vitamin D3, and uric acid concentrations of blood samples were determined.
The main reason for blood donation by regular blood donors was headache (45%), while for the first-timers it was to help relatives (31%). The low-density lipoprotein and ferritin concentrations were significantly (=0.001) lower in the blood of regular donors than first-timers.
The study shows that regular blood donation is beneficial for the maintenance of health of donors.
有人提出，献血可降低患心血管疾病（如心力衰竭、动脉粥样硬化和中风）的风险。尽管献血有已知的益处，但伊拉克库尔德地区人们的献血倾向尚不清楚。因此，本研究的目的是确定伊拉克北部苏莱曼尼亚省定期献血者和首次献血者的人口统计学和血液生化特征。
2016年4月1日至2017年3月28日期间，在苏莱曼尼亚血库对100名定期献血者和100名首次献血者的便利样本进行了横断面研究。献血者的详细信息从血库记录中获取。测定了血液样本中胆固醇、甘油三酯、低密度脂蛋白、铁蛋白、维生素D3和尿酸的浓度。
定期献血者献血的主要原因是头痛（45%），而首次献血者的主要原因是帮助亲属（31%）。定期献血者血液中的低密度脂蛋白和铁蛋白浓度显著低于首次献血者（P=0.001）。
该研究表明，定期献血对献血者的健康维护有益。
