“…By characterising the unexplained anaemia of ageing as a form of mild anaemia associated with reduced EPO response, low circulating levels of pro-inflammatory markers, low lymphocyte counts and frequent association with severe osteoarthritis and Parkinsonian symptoms, this study represents a step forward in the comprehension of the pathophysiology of this highly prevalent and important syndrome (Rozzini et al, 2005).
