Abstract
Hypertension is a major health issue that affects people all over the world. It can cause cardiovascular illness as well as functional issues, such as alterations in haematological parameters. At the Federal Medical Centre in Owo, Ondo State, the goal of this study was to analyse some haematological markers of hypertensive persons based on age groups.

Data were presented in tables and shown as mean ± standard deviation and added using statistical packages for social sciences (SPSS, Version 20.0) with level of significance set at as p≤ 0.05. One hundred (100) hypertensive individuals were enrolled in this study. There was no significant differences in the haematological parameters of the study participants based on age groups.
