Abstract
The Determinations of specific gravity, hemoglobin content, hematocrit value and pantothenic acid content of blood samples of 199 females over 39 years of age living in a farm village of the north-eastern district of Japan were carried out in July, 1970. Regarding blood specific gravity, hemoglobin content and hematocrit value, no significant difference was observed among each mean value of the subjects grouped by age classes, though each mean value seemed to be somewhat low. However, the level of bound pantothenic acid in blood declined with age and this tendency was remarkable between subjects in the age classes of 40-49 years and 50-59 years, although free pantothenic acid content was found to be almost constant in each age class.
