NYTL,
Years of teachiong the 13th and 14th grade have made me an expert at simplifying complex ideas. Dr Scally posted a piece of literature that basically says that as we get older. Hematocrit becomes a concern. H'crit refers to the amount of RBC in your blood which makes it "thicker."
High RBCs' are great for endurance athletes, but for us older guys it can be problematic, to say the least. Thicker blood=higher chance of strokes.
Labs will determine your levels. I get mine done every 6 months.
