The haematological parameters of 97 cases of beta thalassaemia trait and 40 cases of delta beta thalassaemia trait have been compared. No differences in haemoglobin, haematocrit, MCV, MCH, ferritin, % saturation or free erythrocyte protoporphyrin have been found. The RDW, however, is significantly increased in delta beta thalassaemia trait, its mean value (+/- SD) being 20 (2.05), even higher than that found in iron deficiency anaemia. The discrimination function described by England and Fraser may be of help in distinguishing these entities.

In brief This study of the nutritional intake and hematological parameters in 52 middle-distance and distance runners at Simon Fraser University showed that the mean energy intake was 3,020 kcal a day for men and 2,026 kcal a day for women. The women's mean iron intake was 12.5 mg a day, which is below the recommended daily intake of 14 mg a day. The men's intake was adequate at 18.5 mg a day. Although mean hemoglobin levels were 14.8 gm/100 ml for men and 13.3 gm/100 ml for women, 29% of the men and 82% of the women had plasma ferritin concentrations at risk for iron deficiency.
