SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC CIRCUMSTANCES AS FACTORS OF INFLUENCE ON THE VALUES OF HEMATOLOGICAL PARAMETERS

Abstract

Summary: There are many different factors which influence the values of hematological parameters of healthy persons and they can be recognized as biological, methodological and the factors of analytical method in the elaboration of samples. For these previously mentioned factors, it is necessary to establish the bases of referential values which will take into consideration all the influences in such a way that each result can be interpreted when compared to a specific base. In this research we investigated a population of women in childbed during three different periods of time characterized by diverse social and economic circumstances (the year 1986, the period between 1994 and 1996 and the beginning of 2004) and we settled the referential values for the basic hematological parameters. The results from the second period observed show a decrease of the average values compared with the first observed period. In the third examined period, there is the increase of the same values, related to the second one. The interactive relations among the results in various periods are statistically very important. The changes in average values for each of the seven hematological parameters caused the changes in referential limits and they represent the clear reflection of the social and economic situation during those periods of time.
