Key result
A 3-month diet treatment significantly decreased mean platelet volume in obese women from 8.18 fl at baseline to 8.08 fl (p=0.013).
Why the study?
Does weight loss via a 3-month caloric diet treatment reduce mean platelet volume in obese women?
Population
60 women (30 obese patients and 30 non-obese healthy subjects)
Comparison
Caloric diet treatment for 3 months vs Baseline values and non-obese healthy controls
Design
Cohort
Follow-up
3 months

May reduce platelet activation in obese women; leaves open whether this improves CV outcomes.

Absolute Event Rate: 8.08% vs 8.18%
p-value: p=0.013
Weight loss through diet reduces mean platelet volume in obese women, suggesting potential anti-platelet activation properties that may contribute to antiatherogenic effects.
Çoban et al. (2007) studied Obesity (n=60). Diet treatment vs. Baseline was evaluated on Mean platelet volume (MPV) (p=0.013). A 3-month diet treatment significantly decreased mean platelet volume in obese women from 8.18 fl at baseline to 8.08 fl (p=0.013).
