The modification of the social and demographic profile of the population, with morbity panel changes, added to the spreading of violence and the practical and technological procedures advances, had brought an increased demand for transfusions, not always followed by anincrease of the number of blood donors. Contribute to this situation the politics taken in the last years mainly derived from AIDS epidemics, which brought higher donation process rigidity and, in consequence, a decrease on the number of qualified blood donors. In Brazil, the problem is aggravated by the high clinical and serological unable portion of people that provide the blood donation. Moreover, there are high financial costs that involve the transfusion security guarantee, today mostly under the public service responsibility. This current study goal is identify factors associated to the aptitude to blood donation, according to gender and able categories, looking for differential categories. There were twohypothesis to be considerated and analyzed. The first one, blood donation candidates would have differential profiles according to gender and the second one, the temporary clinical unfit candidates would have a more similar profile to the clinical fit than to the permanent clinicalunfit. It was reported a transversal observational case-referent study, made In Hemo Center of Belo Horizonte in 1994-95, involving 3,527 candidates to blood donation, who answered to the specific questionnaires. The Multinomial Logistic Regression was used to investigate the association between the researched factors and the aptitude to the blood donation. Different demographic and social economics profiles were identified, moreover the ones related to the standards of attitudes, practices, knowledge, perceptions and reasons todonation, according to gender and fitting categories to blood donation. Therefore, is justified the use of different uptake strategies of blood donors to achieve specific public aim.
