In a one-way ANOVA test, there was a significant difference between Hb (P = 0.004). TIBC (P = 0.001), serum iron (P = 0.000), serum ferritin (P = 0.000), and transferin saturation (P= 0.000) among donors based on instances of donation. But there was no significant relationship between MCV figures and instances of donation (P=0.08).
