Investigation of platelet parameters of healthy adults in the northern area of Anhui province

Objective: To investigate the situation of mean platelet volume(MPV)and platelet(PLT)in venous blood of healthy adults in the northern area of Anhui province.Methods: The MPV and PLT in the venous blood of 1 339 Han nationality adults in the northern area of Anhui province were measured by the way of instrument automatic suction sample using sysmex XT-1800i automatic blood cell analyzer.Results: The levels of PLT in females were significantly higher than that of males (P＜0.01).There were not statistical differences in the levels of MPV between males and females(P ＞ 0.05).The levels of PLT in more than 25 years old group of males were higher than that of more than 65 years old group(P＜0.05), the levels of PLT in more than 25 years old group of females were higher than that of more than 75 years old group(P＜0.05).Conclusions: In the northern area of Anhui Province, the levels of PLT in females are significantly higher than that of males.The levels of PLT in more than 35 years age group of both sxes decrease with the age growing.The gender has not effect on the levels of MPV of healthy adults in the northern area of Anhui Province.
