Abstract

The aim of this study was to measure the mean Hemoglobin and Hematocrit among apparently healthy Students in Sudan University of Science and Technology. Total number of samples were 500 ( 251 Males - 249 Females ) .in age group (17-25) years. EDTA anticoagulant venous blood samples was collected from each subject the parameters were measured by using JENWAY calorimeter 6051 for Hb measurements and Hettich ZentrifuGen D – 78532 tuttingen for HCT . Analysis was done in laboratories of Sudan university . Computerized statistical package for social science ( version 16 ) was used for data processing . A questionnaire was fulfilled by each subject . The result of study show that :- Mean Hemoglobin in males was (12.9 g/dl ) ranged between ( 9.3- 16.5 g/dl) with P. value (.0000)and in Females ranged between (8 – 14 g/dl) with mean (11.2 g/dl) with p . value (.000) . Mean Packed Cell Volume in males was (46% ) ranged between( 37 -55 %) whears in females it was (40 %) and ranged between (30.8 - 49.2 %) . With p. value (0.000) -The results obtained show that the mean hemoglobin and packed cell volume were significantly decreased in females when compared with males .
