Abstract

The aim of the study was to determine the association between platelet indices and obesity in children. A total of 190 overweight or obese children (mean age: 13.29 ± 2.54, M/F: 0.74) and 100 normal-weight children (mean age: 12.72 ± 2.23, M/F:1.04) were enrolled in the study. Platelet count (PLT), platelet indices, and ratios were determined. No significant difference was observed in terms of mean platelet volume (MPV) and platelet distribution width (PDW) levels and MPV/plateletcrit (PCT) and PDW/PCT ratios between overweight, obese, and normal-weight groups, whereas significant differences were observed in terms of PLT, PCT, MPV/PLT, and PDW/PLT ratios between each group. PLT and PCT levels were significantly higher in the obese group than in the overweight and normal-weight groups (P = 0.003, P = 0.002, respectively). Children with obesity had lower MPV/PLT and PDW/PLT ratios than the other groups (P = 0.001, P = 0.02, respectively). Overweight and obese children with insulin resistance (IR) had higher PLT and lower MPV/PLT, and PDW/PLT ratios than the children without IR (P = 0.034, P = 0.04, P = 0.013, respectively).

Conclusion: Significant differences were observed in terms of PLT, PCT, MPV/PLT, and PDW/PLT between overweight, obese, and normal-weight children.

What is Known: • Obesity is associated with a chronic low-grade systemic inflammation. • Platelets play a crucial role in coagulation, hemostasis, thrombosis, immunomodulatory processes, inflammation, and atherothrombosis.
What is New: • Significant differences were observed in terms of PLT, PCT, MPV/PLT, and PDW/PLT between overweight, obese, and normal-weight children. • Overweight and obese children with insulin resistance had higher PLT and lower MPV/PLT and PDW/PLT ratios than the children without insülin resistance.
