Abstract
Measurement of specific gravity, haemoglobin content, haematcrit value and pantothenic acid content on blood samples of rural female inhabitants over 40 years of age was carried out. The level of bound pantothenic acid in blood declined with age and its decreasing tendency was remarkable between subjects in the age classes of 40-49 years and 50-59 years, although free pantothenic acid contents were found to be almost constant in each age group.
