Is Hemoglobin Concentration a Linear Predictor of Mortality in Older Adults From Chinese Longevity Regions?

Introduction: The association patterns of hemoglobin (HB) concentrations with mortality among the longevity older adults are unclear. We aimed to evaluate the relationship among older adults form Chinese longevity regions.Methods: We included 1,785 older adults aged ≥65 years (mean age, 86.7 years;...
