Box plot: median, line in the middle of the IQR box; mean, symbol +; whiskers, minimum to maximum. Mean (±SD) and median [IQR] for each blood cell: For the < 50-year-old male group: platelets, 4.06 ± (1.07) and 3.70 [2.10]; WBCs, 1.91 (±0.40) and 1.90 [0.64]; neutrophils, 2.57 (±1.09) and 2.86 [2.16]; lymphocytes, 2.52 (±0.76) and 2.70 [1.29]; monocytes, 1.69 (±0.82) and 1.28 [1.57]. For the >50-year-old male group: platelets, 3.64 (±0.89) and 3.22 [1.66]; WBCs, 1.74 (±0.26) and 1.86 [0.45]; neutrophils, 1.47 (±0.34) and 1.51 [0.65]; lymphocytes, 3.45 (±1.15) and 3.32 [1.68]; monocytes, 2.18 (±0.46) and 2.15 [0.74]. For the female < 50-year-old volunteers: platelets, 3.91 (±0.97) and 3.69 [1.82]; WBCs, 1.86 (±0.60) and 1.89 [1.12]; neutrophils, 1.41 (±0.68) and 1.57 [1.32]; lymphocytes, 2.85 (±1.72) and 2.00 [3.18]; monocytes 2.37 (±0.77) and 2.76 [1.49]. For the female >50-year-old volunteers: platelets, 3.95 (±1.39) and 3.79 [2.43]; WBCs, 1.90 (±0.80) and 1.69 [0.92]; neutrophils, 2.20 (±0.93) and 2.00 [1.32]; lymphocytes, 2.47 (±1.09) and 2.48 [1.89]; monocytes, 2.60 (±1.42) and 2.15 [1.2].
