| Research Abstract |
I analyzed the association of the anemia of the elderly people with oxidation stress history saved on the red blood cell membrane of the testees of the anti-aging dock which is carried out in the Center for Anti-aging and Preventive Medicine attached to the Ehime University hospital. As a result, there was a negative correlation between the oxidated fat content in erythrocyte membrane and the red blood cell count, suggesting that the oxidated fat content in erythrocyte membrane could become the index of anemia. On the other hand, there was significant correlation between the SH-group content in erythrocyte membrane and the degree of arteriosclerosis, in the male. The participation of a factor (e.g., female sex hormone) peculiar to a woman was suggested, because no significance was detected, in women.
