Serum ferritin levels, RBC count, Hb, PCV% and MCV were measured in high school students living at Dead Sea (390 m below sea level) and Amman (766 m above sea level). A total of 96 male and 95 female healthy volunteers of age range 17-19 years, having almost identical economic and nutritional status were studied. It was found that serum ferritin levels of males and the levels of the females at Dead Sea and Amman were identical. However, the ferritin levels of males were much higher than those of females in both places. It was also found that the MCV levels in both the sexes were almost same in Dead Sea and Amman. The RBC counts, Hb concentration, and PVC% were significantly lower (p greater than 0.05) in both sexes at Dead Sea level than at Amman, as found in our previous study.
对生活在死海（海平面以下390米）和安曼（海平面以上766米）的高中生进行了血清铁蛋白水平、红细胞计数、血红蛋白、红细胞压积百分比和平均红细胞体积的测量。共研究了96名男性和95名女性健康志愿者，年龄在17至19岁之间，他们的经济和营养状况几乎相同。结果发现，死海和安曼男性的血清铁蛋白水平以及女性的血清铁蛋白水平是相同的。然而，在这两个地方，男性的铁蛋白水平都远高于女性。还发现，死海和安曼两地两性的平均红细胞体积水平几乎相同。正如我们之前的研究所发现的，死海海平面上两性的红细胞计数、血红蛋白浓度和红细胞压积百分比均显著低于安曼。
