| HGB (mean ± SD) | 130.17 ± 17.04 | 130.40 ± 15.20 | 0.651a |
| (min–max) (g/L) | (87–162) | (89–163) | |
| Homocysteine (mean ± SD) | 49.73 ± 27.65 | 10.93 ± 2.42 | < 0.001*a |
| (min–max) (μmol/L) | (5.1–129) | (4.8–15.7) | |
| Vitamin B12 (mean ± SD) | 365.62 ± 437.28 | 1362.17 ±179.73 | < 0.001*a |
| (min–max) (pmol/mL) | (62–1476) | (728–1491) |
aP-value was calculated using the Wilcoxon test.
* Indicates a significant statistical difference as P<0.05. RBC, red blood cells; HGB, hemoglobin; SD, Standard deviation.
