| Abstract |
There are no studies that investigated the association between red blood cell (RBC) and platelet (PLT) indices in relation to obesity in a cohort of exclusively late adolescents. Hence, we aimed to explore this potential relationship. A cohort of adolescents (n=156) aged between 16-19 years was included. Iron homeostasis parameters [i.e. RBC, hemoglobin (HGB), hematocrit (HCT), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) and red cell distribution width (RDW)] and platelet indices [i.e., PLT, mean platelet volume (MPV), plateletcrit (PCT) and platelet distribution width (PDW)] were determined on the automatic hematology analyzer. Their indexes (i.e. MCV/RBC, MCH/RBC, RDW/MCV, MPV/PLT and PDW/PCT) were calculated. Univariate binary regression analysis showed negative associations between body mass index (BMI) and RDW, PDW, and PDW/PCT, respectively, and positive associations between BMI and MPV and PCT, respectively. However, only RDW kept the independent negative association with BMI in multivariate binary regression analysis [Odds Ratio (95% Confidence Interval)=0.734 (0.548-0.983); p=0.038]. Lower RDW values are the independent predictor of higher BMI in the adolescent population. As a low-cost and simply measured parameter, RDW could be a useful diagnostic biomarker in young populations with overweight/obesity. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 22 August 2023.
All research outputs
#17,881,371
of 26,180,352 outputs
Outputs from European review for medical and pharmacological sciences [Eur Rev Med Pharmacol Sci] NLMUID: 9717360
#932
of 3,215 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#208,401
of 366,355 outputs
Outputs of similar age from European review for medical and pharmacological sciences [Eur Rev Med Pharmacol Sci] NLMUID: 9717360
#12
of 51 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 26,180,352 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 21st percentile – i.e., 21% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,215 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.9. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 58% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 366,355 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 31st percentile – i.e., 31% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 51 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 50% of its contemporaries.
