HEMATOLOGICAL PARAMETERS OF ONE-YEAR-OLD CHILDREN IN THE REPUBLIC OF KHAKASSIA
The article presents results of hematological parameters studies of one and two-year- old children of Khakass and Russian ethnic groups. The study reveals statistically significant differences in one-year-old children in terms of erythrocyte parameters. Thus, ethnic features consist in decrease in the hematocrit level and average erythrocyte volume, as well as increase in the average hemoglobin concentration in erythrocytes in Khakass children if compared with Russian ones. Sex features influence on hematological parameters was characteristic only for Khakass children, which was manifested in the fact that Khakass girls, compared with Khakass boys, had a greater deviation in the red blood cells size from the average value of that. Leukocyte and platelet parameters of one-year-old children correspond to age norms and were not influenced by sex and ethnic features.
