Figure Lengend Snippet: Distributions of laboratory parameters of volunteers who participated in the Equatorial Guinea Pilot Study for Recruitment, Screening and Participant Registry (EGRESPAR), stratified by age and sex. Panels A–G show the hematological parameters, and panels H–J show the biochemistry parameters. The panels show the distribution of ( A ) white blood cells (10 3 / µ L), ( B ) red blood cells (10 6 / µ L), ( C ) hemoglobin (g/dL), ( D ) platelets (10 3 / µ L), ( E ) lymphocytes (10 3 / µ L), ( F ) neutrophils (10 3 / µ L), ( G ) eosinophils (10 3 / µ L), ( H ) alanine aminotransferase (U/L), ( I ) blood glucose (mg/dL), and ( J ) creatinine (mg/dL). The boxes show the median and the upper and lower quartiles, and the whiskers define maximum and minimum values, excluding outliers.
