贫血是一种症状,在许多疾病中都可以见到,在日常生活中,人们常以为贫血仅仅是少年儿童和青年妇女的事。其实,老年人患贫血并不少见。仅从外貌看,一些老年人的皮肤面色萎黄或苍白,口唇、舌头、黏膜血色浅淡,甲床颜色灰白等等,都说明患有不同程度的贫血。据调查,老年人中约有5～20％的人贫血。 Anemia is a symptom that can be seen in many diseases, and in daily life it is often thought that anemia is only a matter of teenagers and young women. In fact, it is not uncommon for the elderly to suffer from anemia. Only from the appearance, some elderly skin pale yellow or pale, lips, tongue, mucous membrane pale, nail bed color gray, etc., all have different degrees of anemia. According to the survey, about 5 to 20% of the elderly are anemic.
