Concentration Of Selected Constituents In The Blood Of Healthy Women 30 To 90 Years Of Age In Six North Central States, Ruth M. Leverton, Jean Pazur
Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station
The hemoglobin, red cell, total and differential leukocyte, serum protein, calcium, phosphorus and glucose values of the blood of several hundred healthy women 30 to 92 years in six North Central States were determined as one phase of a regional study of nutritional status.
