Figure 1 Longitudinal Changes in WBC Count by Years of Initial Evaluation, Separately in Men and Women
The upward trend of white blood cell (WBC) count in the oldest cohorts can be explained by participants enrolled in the first 2 enrollment periods, who developed an increase in WBC count in their very old age. Numbers in the table are for participants enrolled in different time periods and, of these, the number who were still alive at the beginning of each decade.
