<![CDATA[Blood donation is the process of taking a portion of blood from a healthy person then giving it to the person who needs blood. Hemoglobin level examination is one of the donor selection checks to find out whether someone is successful or not to donate blood. A person can donate blood if the hemoglobin level shows a result of 12.5 g / dL – 17 g / dL. A person's hemoglobin level can be influenced by age, because as we get older many organ functions that do not work optimally so that they experience a decrease in Hb levels. The purpose of this study was to measure hemoglobin levels in prospective donors aged more than 46 years at UDD PMI Jepara Regency. This type of research uses a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional descriptive study research model taken from the SIMDONDAR database.
