A study of the prevalence and causes of anaemia in 559 randomly selected people aged 65 years and over living in their own home, in residential homes or in hospitals was made. In the population 65 years and over 7.1 percent were found to have a haemoglobin level less than 120 g/l and 2.5 percent a haemoglobin level less than 110/gl. The majority who were anaemic suffered from multiple and chronic diseases. The dietary intake of the anaemic was similar to those with a normal haemoglobin. In women aged 80 years or more, the haemoglobin level decreased significantly with age. Women had lower haemoglobin levels than men.
对559名随机选取的65岁及以上居家、居住在养老院或医院的老人进行了贫血患病率及病因的研究。在65岁及以上人群中，发现7.1%的人血红蛋白水平低于120g/l，2.5%的人血红蛋白水平低于110g/l。大多数贫血患者患有多种慢性病。贫血者的饮食摄入量与血红蛋白正常者相似。在80岁及以上的女性中，血红蛋白水平随年龄显著下降。女性的血红蛋白水平低于男性。
