The data that showed a normal distribution were processed using the Student´s t test. The Wilcoxon´s signed range test with was used when the data did not comply with the normal distribution. Both for a signification level of p < 0.05.

Results:

Women predominated in relation to men, representing 27.6%. There was a predominance of older adults aged 76-80 years. The global leukocyte count remained within normal parameters and platelets decreased only in 5 patients after the administration of Biomodulina T, that results were not statistically significant.

Conclusion:

It was shown that the Biomodulina T did not modify the hemogram results in the elderly patients.
