Abstract
- Abstract Introduction Mean platelet volume (MPV) is a measure of platelet size and activity. We conducted a population study with National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data to understand the relationship of MPV with health and diseases. Materials and methods The NHANES is a cross-sectional survey of non-institutionalized adult population, administered every 2 years by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Participants answer a questionnaire, receive a physical examination, and undergo laboratory tests. Values of MPV were collected over 6 years (2011–2016). Logistic regression was used to predict likelihood of being in categories with MPV < 10th percentile or >90th percentile. Statistical analysis was performed using Stata/SE 15.1. Results In our study with 17,969 individuals, the mean MPV was 8.40 [SD = 0.92] femtoliter. Individuals with male sex, age 45–64 years, and recent hospital-stay were more likely to have MPV < 10th percentile. Obese, Blacks and Mexican Americans had higher odds of having MPV > 90th percentile. Individuals with emphysema had significantly higher adjusted Odds [OR 1.92, 95% CI: 1.11–3.31, p = 0.021] of MPV < 10th percentile. Individuals with cancer were less likely to have MPV > 90th percentile [OR 0.74, 95% CI: 0.55–0.99, p = 0.042]. A diagnosis of coronary artery disease, asthma, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease did not have significant associations with MPV. Conclusions Obese individuals are more likely to have higher MPV. Individuals with emphysema had higher odds of having MPV < 10th percentile and those with cancer were less likely to have MPV > 90th percentile. Highlights • Mean platelet volume (MPV) is a measure of platelet size and activity. • Obese individuals are more likely to have a higher MPV. • A diagnosis of emphysema has higher odds of having MPV < 10th percentile. • An individual with a cancer is less likely to have MPV > 90th percentile.
