Moroccan lymphocyte subsets reference ranges: age, gender, ethnicity, and socio-economic factors dependent differences
Lymphocyte subsets reference ranges are helpful for a precise diagnosis and therapy of various diseases. We attempted in the current study to establish Moroccan lymphocyte reference range and reveal age, gender, ethnicity, income, and instructional levels dependent differences. Lymphocyte subsets percentage and absolute count were determined by 4-color flow cytometry in a population study of 145 adults Moroccan healthy volunteers. Analysis showed significant age-dependent changes. Age was associated with a decrease of naïve CD4+ and CD8+ T cells and an increase of memory CD4+ or CD8+ T cells. Activated CD4+ CD38+ and CD8+ CD38+ T cells, Treg as well as NK cell showed age-dependent alterations. In contrast, B cells remained unchanged. A higher percentage of CD3+ and CD4+ T cells was observed in females while CD8+, B and NK cells count were higher in men. Ethnicity, instructional levels, and personal income seem to not influence lymphocyte subsets reference values. This study provides reference ranges for lymphocyte subsets of healthy Moroccan adults. These results can be used for other North African (Maghrebian) countries considering their geographic, ethnic, economic, and cultural similarities.
