“…Minimum the hemoglobin amount belonged to the young Turkish female 9.30 ml/m 3 and the maximum hemoglobin belongs to old male 17.70 ml/ cm 3 . The maximum mean of the hemoglobin was detected in Turkish male 14.96 and minimum was in the 12.01 in Turkish female (Table 1).…”

“…Testosterone hormone is the main reason why men have higher hemoglobin concentrations than women, which results in both larger body size and larger erythrocyte amount in the blood [4]. Since the red cell mass and the venous hemoglobin levels differ between the sexes, but the microcirculatory hematocrit does not, or does so to a significantly less extent, it is probable that it is the red cell mass or the venous hemoglobin level that has evolved to different levels between the sexes [3]. It is known that the hemoglobin amount decrease by aging in different sex because of repletion, such as premenopausal women have mean hemoglobin levels approximately 12% lower than age and race matched men [5][6][7][8].…”

“…A hematocrit test is also part of a complete blood count (CBC) and if it shows lower hematocrit number it is suggested as anemia or massive blood loss [2]. Statistically, the amount of hemoglobin level mean is different in men and women`s levels in health in venous blood -women have mean levels approximately 12% lower than men [3]. Testosterone hormone is the main reason why men have higher hemoglobin concentrations than women, which results in both larger body size and larger erythrocyte amount in the blood [4].…”

Hemoglobin is a unique protein, which is responsible for oxygen and carbon dioxide transportation all the body. The protein location is inside the erythrocytes and the special oval shape makes it easily pass through blood walls to supply oxygen to the tissues and organs. It is supposed that the hemoglobin amount could change depending on the person`s age, gender or nationality. We designed a research to see the molecular differences among Bosnian and Turkish young person`s whose age interval is 18-23 and old person`s age interval is 43-65. Totally 300 person`s, 50 from each Bosnian/ Turkish Female/Male and 50 old male and 50 old female were selected for the research. The students` the hemoglobin amount has been recorded individually and presented in a table. As a result of the measurement, The Turkish females average has the lowest hemoglobin Turkish males average shows the maximum amount of hemoglobin, 12.01 g/dl and 14.65 g/dl respectively. When the female gets older their the hemoglobin amount increase in their blood, 7.3% in Bosnian and 12.2% in Turkish. On the other side, the male blood the hemoglobin amount is almost similar by aging, Bosnian male hemoglobin just increase 0.74%, but in Turkish male 1.3% decrease. The result shows that female the hemoglobin amount is affected by age more than male.

“…When comparing the two groups in our study, there was no significant difference in age and dialysis vintage, but there was one regarding gender distribution, with more men belonging to the non-ESA group. This gender difference in erythropoiesis is caused by, among others, the stimulatory effect of androgens in the bone marrow, stimulation of EPO production by androgens in the kidneys, while estrogen has an inhibitory effect on red cell production in the bone marrow (13). According to Shah et al, in patients with ADPKD with infrequent ESA usage (less than 25% of the follow-up time), a Hb value above 13 g/dL offers greater survival, and in patients with ADPKD and regular ESA usage (greater than 25% of the follow-up time) an Hb between 12 and 13 g/dL has the greater survival value.…”

Highlights• The vegetative state (VS) and minimal conscious state (MCS) patients in rehabilitation center have normal range of body mass index (BMI) and biochemical parameters, including hemoglobin, lymphocyte, albumin and cholesterol.• The duration from onset has a positive correlation with BMI, and a negative correlation with cholesterol level.• This study suggests that regular and properly prescribed enteral feeding in VS and MCS patients would supply stable and appropriate nutrition. ABSTRACTThe aim of this study is to investigate the nutritional status in vegetative state (VS) and minimally conscious state (MCS) patients, and to identify correlation between the duration from onset and indices indicating nutritional status. This study included a total of 37 VS and MCS patients. For nutrition assessment, the body mass index (BMI), biochemical parameters such as hemoglobin, total lymphocyte count, albumin and cholesterol levels were measured. The mean BMI was 21.31 ± 2.81 kg/m 2 . Only 4 patients (10.81%) were classified as underweight, 24 patients (64.86%) had normal BMI, 6 patients (16.22%) were overweight, and 3 patients (8.11%) were obese. The partial correlation coefficients showed that duration from onset has a positive correlation with BMI, and a negative correlation with cholesterol level. This study suggests that regular and properly prescribed enteral feeding in VS and MCS patients would supply stable and appropriate nutrition. Further study is needed with additional nutrition assessments reflecting muscle mass.
