Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) was examined in blacks and whites aged 18 to 74 years in the first National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES I). In each age and sex group, median ESR was 2 mm/hr to 13 mm/hr higher in blacks than in whites even after exclusion of persons with extreme hemoglobin values or history of conditions affecting ESR. Apparently healthy blacks were more likely than whites to have elevated ESR greater than 20 mm/hr in women and 9 mm/hr in men. These data suggest a racial difference in ESR that is independent of age, hemoglobin concentration, and certain chronic diseases.
在第一次全国健康与营养检查调查(NHANES I)中,对18至74岁的黑人和白人进行了红细胞沉降率(ESR)检测。在每个年龄和性别组中,即使排除了血红蛋白值极高或有影响ESR疾病史的人群,黑人的ESR中位数仍比白人高2毫米/小时至13毫米/小时。明显健康的黑人比白人更有可能出现ESR升高,女性大于20毫米/小时,男性大于9毫米/小时。这些数据表明ESR存在种族差异,且这种差异与年龄、血红蛋白浓度和某些慢性疾病无关。
