In a study of a group of 325 blood donors between the ages of 18 and 65 years, the total leucocyte and polymorph counts of the females aged 50 to 65 years were found to be significantly lower than those of the corresponding group of male donors. In the whole series of female donors, there were significantly lower total leucocyte and lymphocyte counts with increasing age and a less significant (P [unk] 0.1) fall in the polymorph count. No age variation in the male counts was found. Analysis of large numbers of leucocyte counts performed on hospital patients has confirmed the sex difference in the total leucocyte count found in the blood donors. The factors responsible for the differences are discussed.
在一项针对325名年龄在18至65岁之间的献血者的研究中，发现50至65岁女性的白细胞总数和多形核白细胞计数显著低于相应年龄组的男性献血者。在整个女性献血者系列中，随着年龄的增长，白细胞总数和淋巴细胞计数显著降低，多形核白细胞计数的下降则不太显著（P<0.1）。未发现男性计数有年龄差异。对大量住院患者进行的白细胞计数分析证实了献血者中白细胞总数存在性别差异。文中讨论了造成这些差异的因素。
