Blood Eosinophil Count and Its Determinants in a Chinese Population-Based Cohort.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Blood eosinophil count has been shown markedly variable across different populations. However, its distribution in Chinese general population remains unclear. We aimed to investigate blood eosinophil count and its determinants in a Chinese general population.

Methods
