Description
Xiangyi Ma and colleagues charted how routine blood counts change with age in healthy community-dwelling Chinese older adults. Their 2026 cross-sectional study aims to map normal aging trajectories for blood cells and derived inflammation markers, evidence needed to judge immune aging and elder health. Reference patterns by age and sex had been incomplete for this population.
From 9,331 recruits, the team analyzed 1,630 healthy people aged 24 to 97. Red cells, hemoglobin, and platelets generally fell with age, while red cell size and variation rose, and monocyte share increased. Derived markers showed mixed trends, with platelet-to-lymphocyte and systemic immune-inflammation ratios falling and neutrophil ratios fluctuating. The dataset gives clinicians age-aware reference patterns, though a single-time-point design cannot track individual aging.
