This file includes the results from blood collected at a screening visit (and for OS participants, Annual Visit 3) and analyzed at each Clinical Center’s (CC) local laboratory. * Broad range checks have been applied to the CBC results to exclude biologically implausible values. Extreme values and inconsistencies between results may still exist. * Data are missing if the lab was unable to process the sample. * Careful inspection of the CBC result data is recommended before using these results in analyses. * NOTE: WBC differential data are not available in the WHI Clinic CBC Results. While individual clinics may have assessed WBC differential, the results were not entered into the WHI database.

This data was expected for this visit. CBC results were expected for CT at Baseline and for OS at Baseline and at Annual Visit 3.

Usage Notes:

This includes forms from the subsample of OS participants at year 6 that were enrolled in the three clinical centers participating in the WHI Osteoporosis sub study, as height and weight were collected on OS participants at year 6 by design; see table 16.1; on page 16-18b of volume 2.
