摘要

本研究取材自台灣地區四大都市老年人的徒康調查責料，以評估老年人貧血的盛行率。從民國七十八年至八十年問共有 2 , 518 位年齡分佈在 65 歲至 93 歲之老人接受調查。經年齡修正稜的貧血盛行率（男性血色素小終 12.59 / dl ，女性小朴 1 1 . 59 / dl ) ，男性為 6.5 % ，女性為 8.3 % ，其中女性老人，貧血盛行率都隨年齡增加而增加。男性貧血老人較無貧血老人有較高的肌酸醉值、甲狀腺刺激素值和較低的膽紅素值、白蚤白值；在女性方面，貧血老人有較高的肌酸醉值和較低的膽紅素值、白蚤白值。不論性別為何，老人貧血者皆有顯著較高比率的高血清肌酸醉，故高血清肌酸醉可能是老人貧血重要因素之一。

Wi investigated the prevalence rate of ane-mia in a study of the health of the elderly po-pulation in four Taiwan urban communities. A total of 2,518 noninstitutionalized persons persons aged 65-93 were evaluated in 1989-1991. The age-ad- justed prevalence rates of anemia (hemoglobin ＜12.5 g/dl in men and ＜11.5G/dl in women) were 6.5% in men and 8.3% in women. Preva-lence rates increased significantly with age in women, while they were not so prominent in men. The men with anemia had higher creatini-ne and thyroid stimulating hormone levels, but had lower billirubin and albumin level than men without anemia. Compared with the non-anem-ic female group, the anemic women had higher creatinine and lower bilirubin and albumin le-vels. Regardless of sex, anemic elderly had sig-nificantly higher rates of high serum creatinine.Hence, high serum creatinine may be one of the important factors of anemia factors of anemia in the elderly.
