In contrast, vasovagal reaction rates were either lower (male donors) or similar (female donor for reactions with loss of consciousness) in older compared to 24- to 70-year-old donors.Įxclusion solely based on older age appears to be unwarranted based on safety concerns such as donor reactions. The deferral rate was higher in older compared to 24- to 70-year-old males, but very similar between older and younger females. Older donors accounted for 1.0% (New Zealand) to 4.3% (United States) of donors, and 1.5% (New Zealand) to 5.6% (United States) of donations most were between ages 71 and 76. Donors under age 24 were included in the number of total donors and donations, but not in deferral and reaction rate comparisons. Health screening be in good health in general and on the day you donate weigh at least 110 pounds be 16 years or older (age requirement varies by state).
Twelve blood center members of the Biomedical Excellence for Safer Transfusion (BEST) Collaborative from four countries with no upper age limit for whole blood and double RBC donation (Canada, New Zealand, England, and the United States) or an upper age limit of 80 (Australia) provided 2016 data on donors and donations, deferral rates, and vasovagal reactions by donor age and sex. GreenDrop tries to accept every item that it possibly. There is no upper weight limit as long as your weight is not higher than the weight limit of the donor bed or lounge you are using. If you have any questions about GreenDrop ’s donation requirements call GreenDrop at 1-88 and someone will gladly assist you. We evaluated the safety of blood donation in older individuals (≥71 years), and their contribution to the blood supply of five countries. GreenDrop is unable to accept tube tvs, computer monitors, furniture, beds, large collections of books, or any item weighing over 50 pounds. Some countries impose an upper age limit on whole blood and double RBC donation while others do not. You may become a donor if you: are aged between 16 and 60 (Youths aged 16 and 17 will need to complete and bring a signed parental consent form) weigh at least 45kg are in good health do not have any symptoms of infection (e.g.
