PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a more highly sensitive method for screeningβ-thalassemia capable screeningβ-thalassemia and children. SOLUTION: It is determined whether data to be tested belongs to a group having the characteristics ofβ-thalassemia or a group of iron deficiency anemia. Then it is determined whether the data determined as belonging to a group having the characteristics ofβ-thalassemia belongs toβ-thalassemia or children. The data is preferably erythrocytic-series data. In addition, the erythrocytic- series data is preferably selected from a group containing the number of erythrocytes, the concentration of hemoglobin, hematocrit values, erythrocyte indices derived from those three items of data, and the distribution width of erythrocytes.
