متن کاملAssociations between white blood cell count, lung function, respiratory illness and mortality: the Busselton Health Study.
An independent association between reduced levels of lung function and increased mortality from nonrespiratory causes has been observed in a number of studies. Since the total white blood cell count (WBC) has been related to both death from coronary heart disease and to levels of lung function, the relationship between these parameters was examined in subjects from the Busselton Health Surveys....
