The relationship of body fat ratio with mean platelet volüme, neutrophil/lymphocite and platelet/lymphocyte ratios in obese individuals
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the relation ship between mean platelet volume (MPV), neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and platelet lymphocyte ratio (PLR) with body fat ratio (BFR) in patients who applied to the family medicine out patient clinic.
Material and method: Our cross-sectional study 183 patients who applied to the family medicine out patient clinic was included. The demographic data, anthropometric measurements and body fat ratios of our patients were measured by the researchers. The laboratory data of the patients were obtained from the hospital database.
Results: A total of 183 participants were included to the study. The majority of the participants were female (67.2%, n=123) and their mean age was 40.0±12 years. When the body fat ratios of the participants were classified, it was seen that 18.0% (n=33) of the participants had high and 52.5% (n=96) had very high body fat ratios. There was no significant relationship between MPV, NLR, PLR and body fat percent in all three groups. Considering the whole group and the normal group, it is seen that BMI shows a significant weak positive correlation with the platelet/lymphocyte ratio. There was no significant correlation in other groups.
Conclusion: Hemogram (Mean Platelet Volume, Neutophyl Lenfocyte Ratio, Platelet Lenfocyte Rartio) parameters of daily use of family medicine were not sufficient to evaluate the inflammatory processes in obesity.
