Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes mellitus is a major health problem with a variety of implications: cellular, metabolic, and hematological. Hematological alterations observed in type 2 diabetes are related to hyperglycemia and have a vital role in vascular-associated diabetes complications which could be used as a marker for these complications. The aim of this study is to assess the association between hematological indices and blood glucose levels in patients with type 2 diabetes attending outpatient clinics in Mosul. PATIENTS AND METHODS A case-control study was done on 100 patients with type 2 diabetes and 100 healthy controls attending Alwafa Center for Diabetes and Endocrinology and four family medicine health centers in Mosul for the period 1st of January 2024-30th of March 2024. Data collection was done by a direct interview with participants. Hematological indices were tested by using an automatic hematology analyzer. RESULTS Statistically significant differences in Hb were found between diabetic patients and controls (P = 0.007). The total WBC count, neutrophils, and lymphocytes were significantly higher in diabetic patients compared to controls (P = 0.001 for all). Moreover, platelet indices (platelets count and PDW) showed a significant difference between diabetic patients and controls (P = 0.004 and 0.000) respectively. In addition, total WBC count, neutrophil count, and lymphocytes show a statistically significant positive correlation with FBS (P = 0.026, 0.050, and 0.019) respectively. CONCLUSION This study revealed statistically significant differences in various hematological parameters between patients with type 2 diabetes and healthy controls. Regular testing of hematological indices helps in early detection and proper management of diabetic complications.

Abstract
This systematic review and meta-analysis aim to establish associations between metabolic syndrome (MetS) and erythrocyte and platelet markers, contributing to improved diagnostic tests for identifying individuals at risk. Observational studies and Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) were included. The standardized mean difference (SMD) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) of erythrocyte and platelet markers between individuals with and without MetS were used as effect size (inverse variance model). Methodological quality assessment was conducted using the Newcastle-Ottawa scale (NOS) for observational studies and the Cochrane Risk of Bias tool 2.0 for RCTs. The analysis included 51 articles. Compared to controls, individuals with MetS exhibited significantly higher concentrations of mean red blood cell count [Standardized Mean Difference (95% CI): 0.15 (0.13-0.18); p<0.00001], hemoglobin [0.24 (0.18-0.31); p<0.00001], blood platelet count [5.49 (2.78-8.20); p<0.0001], and red blood cell distribution width [(0.55 (0.05-1.04); p=0.03]. Regarding mean platelet volume [0.16 (- 0.03 to 0.35); p=0.10] and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) [7.48 (-2.85-17.81); p=0.16], a non-significant difference was observed in patients with MetS. There was no statistically significant difference in hematocrit counts between the two groups [0.47 (-0.40 to -1.34); p=0.29]. Biomarkers such as mean red blood cell count, hemoglobin, blood platelet count, and RDW are associated with higher levels in patients in MetS, whereas mean platelet volume and PLR tend to be lower. These markers can potentially provide new avenues for early diagnosis of MetS.

Abstract
Background and aims Combined associations of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and hemoglobin (Hb) with metabolic syndrome (MetS) have not been assessed yet. The current study investigated the independent and combined relationships between ALT, Hb, and MetS in the elderly. Methods The 37,966 elderly participants aged 65 years and older were recruited from community centers in Qingdao, China. The sampled elderly population visited the health centers once a year where they were offered a free health checkup. Based on a combination of ALT and Hb levels categorized by tertile, participants were grouped into nine groups (Group 1-9). Logistic regression models were used to analyze the individual and combined associations of ALT and Hb with MetS. Results ALT and Hb were both independently related to MetS in both genders. With the elevation of ALT or Hb levels, risks for MetS and its components increased. Compared to the reference group (the 1st tertiles of both ALT and Hb levels), respective odds ratio of combined ALT and Hb for MetS in Group 2-9 ranged from 1.32-3.38 and 1.14-2.31 in men and women after adjusting for age, sex, education, married status, current smoking, current drinking, physical activity, and diet habit. Conclusion ALT and Hb were both independently related to MetS and its components. Combined ALT and Hb levels could increase risks of MetS and its components than an elevation in ALT or Hb alone.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) is a cluster of interconnected metabolic diseases. Hematological abnormalities are common but neglected complications of MetS. Thus, this study aimed to determine the magnitude of hematological abnormalities and their associated factors among MetS patients at the University of Gondar comprehensive specialized hospital, Northwest Ethiopia. METHOD A hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted at the University of Gondar comprehensive specialized hospital from March to May 2022. A total of 384 MetS patients were selected using a systematic random sampling technique. Data were collected using pre-tested structured questionnaires and checklists. Anthropometric and blood pressure measurements were taken, and blood sample was collected for complete blood count determination. Stool and blood film examinations were performed to detect intestinal and malaria parasites, respectively. Data were entered into EpiData 3.1 and analyzed by Stata 14.0 software. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression models were fitted to identify factors associated with hematological abnormalities. A p-value of < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS The magnitude of anemia, leukopenia, leukocytosis, thrombocytopenia, and thrombocytosis was found to be 13.3%, 0.5%, 2.9%, 1.6%, and 2.3%, respectively. Being male (AOR = 2.65, 95% CI: 1.14, 6.20), rural residency (AOR = 5.79, 95% CI: 1.72, 19.51), taking antihypertensive medications (AOR = 3.85, 95% CI: 1.16, 12.78), having elevated triglyceride level (AOR = 2.21, 95% CI: 1.03, 4.75), and being overweight or obese (AOR = 0.32, 95% CI: 0.16, 0.64) were significantly associated with anemia. CONCLUSIONS Anemia was the most prevalent hematological abnormality identified in the present study, followed by leukocytosis and thrombocytosis. Anemia was a mild public health problem among MetS patients in the study area. Routine anemia screening for all MetS patients, especially for those with significant associated factors, may help in the early detection and effective management of anemia, which subsequently improves the patients' quality of life.

Abstract
Background Diabetes has been proposed to inflict an insult on the hematopoietic milieu marked by changes in hematological indices including red blood cell parameters. Thus, this study aimed to assess the red blood cell parameters and their correlation with glycemic control in type 2 diabetic adult patients in comparison with apparently healthy individuals. Methods A comparative cross-sectional study was conducted at the chronic illness clinic of Hiwot Fana Comprehensive Specialized University Hospital from May 20 to July 10, 2022. A total of 220 (110 type 2 diabetic patients and 110 controls) study participants were selected by a simple random sampling technique. Five milliliters of venous blood were collected by the vacutainer blood collection technique. Red blood cell parameters and blood glucose levels were determined using UniCel DxH 800 and Biosystems A25 analyzers, respectively. Independent sample t-test and Pearson correlation test were used for the data analysis. P-value <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results Statistically significant difference was observed in RBC parameters of T2DM patients and the control group. The mean RBC count, Hgb, Hct (P < 0.001), and MCHC (P = 0.002) in patients with type 2 diabetes was significantly lower than in the control group. However, the mean of RDW was significantly increased in type 2 diabetic patient groups than in the control group (P < 0.001). The mean RBC count, Hct, and Hgb in patients with good glycemic control were significantly higher than the patients with poor glycemic control. Besides, a statistically significant negative correlation was observed between glycemic control and RBC count, Hgb, and Hct level in diabetic patients. Conclusion In this study, a statistically significant difference was observed in red blood cell parameters of type 2 diabetic patients compared to the control group. A significant negative correlation was noted between glycemic control and RBC parameters in type 2 diabetic patients. Therefore, evaluation of RBC parameters should be considered for better management of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disease induced by the inability to control high blood glucose level. Helminth-induced immunomodulation has been reported to prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), which, in turn, ameliorates insulin sensitivity. Therefore, there is a need to understand the underlying mechanisms utilized by helminths in metabolism and the induction of immuno-inflammatory responses during helminthic infection and T2DM comorbidity. This study aimed at using a laboratory animal model to determine the cytokines, chemokines and haematological indices in diabetic (T2DM) male Sprague Dawley (SD) rats infected with Trichinella zimbabwensis. One hundred and two male SD rats (160–180 g) were randomly selected into three experimental groups (i. T2DM-induced group (D) ii. T. zimbabwensis infected + T2DM group (TzD) and iii. T. zimbabwensis-infected group (Tz)). Rats selected for the D group and TzD group were injected with 40 mg/kg live weight of streptozotocin (STZ) intraperitoneally to induce T2DM, while animals in the Tz and TzD group were infected with T. zimbabwensis. Results showed that adult T. zimbabwensis worm loads and mean T. zimbabwensis larvae per gram (lpg) of rat muscle were significantly higher (p < 0.001) in the Tz group when compared to the TzD group. Blood glucose levels in the D group were significantly higher (p < 0.001) compared to the TzD group. An increase in insulin concentration was observed among the TzD group when compared to the D group. Liver and muscle glycogen decreased in the D when compared to the TzD group. A significant increase (p < 0.05) in red blood cells (RBCs) was observed in the D group when compared to the TzD and Tz groups. An increase in haematocrit, haemoglobin, white blood cells (WBCs), platelet, neutrophils and monocyte were observed in the D group when compared to the TzD group. TNF-α, IFN-γ, IL-4, IL-10 and IL-13 concentrations were elevated in the TzD group when compared to the D and Tz groups, while IL-6 concentration showed a significant reduction in the Tz when compared to the D and the TzD groups. A significant increase in CCL5 in the D and TzD groups was observed in comparison to the Tz group. CXCL10 and CCL11 concentration also showed an increase in the TzD group in comparison to the Tz and the D groups. Overall, our results confirm that T. zimbabwensis, a parasite which produces tissue-dwelling larvae in the host, regulates T2DM driven inflammation to mediate a positive protective effect against T2DM outcomes.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Previous studies found controversial associations of CBC parameters with pancreatic beta-cell function (BCF) and insulin resistance (IR). The aim of this was to determine the independent associations of CBC parameters with BCF and IR in prediabetes and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). METHODS This study selected subjects who underwent health checkups at 16 health-promotion centers in 13 Korean cities during 2021. The subjects comprised 1470 patients with normoglycemia, 1124 with prediabetes, and 396 with T2DM. BCF and IR were assessed using the homeostasis model assessment (HOMA)-β and HOMA-IR, respectively. Correlation and multiple linear regression analyses were used to determine the correlation between CBC parameters and HOMA. RESULTS While HOMA-IR gradually increased according to red blood cell count quartiles (1.22, 1.40, 1.47, and 1.91, in the first, second, third, and fourth quartiles, respectively; p < 0.001), there was no correlation after adjusting for waist circumference (WC) and HbA1c. The red blood cell distribution width (RDW) was associated with HOMA-β [coefficient (β) = 15.527, p = 0.002], but not with HOMA-IR. White blood cells (WBCs) were associated with HOMA-IR and HOMA-β, which was stronger in HOMA-β (β = 0.505 vs 15.171, p = 0.002) after adjusting for WC and HbA1c. The platelet count was correlated with HOMA-IR and HOMA-β, which only remained in HOMA-β (β = 15.581, p = 0.002) after adjusting for WC and HbA1c. CONCLUSION RDW, WBC, and platelet counts were independently associated with only HOMA-β in prediabetes and T2DM. This suggests that these CBC parameters could represent BCF in prediabetes and T2DM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Hemoglobin (Hb) concentrations are known to be related to cardiovascular diseases. This study investigated the association between Hb levels and arterial stiffness, as assessed by measurement of the brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV). METHODS AND RESULTS 3576 adults (2139 males and 1437 females) from the general Chinese population who had their physical check-ups in the health examination centers of Jiangmen Central Hospital were enrolled into the study. The anthropometrics and laboratory data as well as the baPWV and Hb levels were subsequently obtained. Age-adjusted partial correlation and multivariable stepwise linear regression analyses were used to evaluate the relationships between Hb and baPWV for men and women separately. In both sexes, Hb levels were positively associated with body mass index, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides, glutamic-pyruvic transaminase, γ-glutamyltranspeptidase, uric acid and baPWV, but negatively correlated with the estimated glomerular filtration rate. Multivariable linear regression analysis showed that Hb was significantly and independently associated with arterial stiffness in men (β = 0.043, 95% CI 0.010-0.077, p < 0.05) and women (β = 0.035, 95% CI 0.001-0.069, P < 0.05), after adjustment for confounding factors. CONCLUSION The data indicate that high Hb concentration significantly correlate with increased baPWV in general Chinese population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes is a global public health problem and associated with metabolic, cellular, and blood disturbances. Hematological changes have been reported in diabetes and play a major role in diabetes-associated complications. However, reports are contradicting and data on hematological parameters of type 2 diabetic patients in the study area are scarce. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the hematological parameters of type 2 diabetic adult patients at Debre Berhan Referral Hospital, Northeast Ethiopia from May 01 to June 30, 2020. METHODS A comparative cross-sectional study was conducted on 268 (134 type 2 diabetic patients and 134 controls) study participants selected by systematic random sampling technique. Socio-demographic, behavioral, and clinical data were collected using a structured questionnaire and checklist. Ethical approval was obtained from Jimma University. All phase of quality assurance was maintained. Hematological parameters and blood glucose levels were determined using UniCel DxH 800 (Beckman Coulter, USA) and Biosystems A25 (Costa Brava, Spain) analyzers, respectively. Independent t-test, Mann-Whitney U-test, correlation, and logistic regression were used during data analysis. P-value <0.05 was considered as statistically significant. RESULTS The current study found that total white blood cell count, absolute counts of neutrophil, lymphocyte, eosinophil, and basophil, red blood cell distribution width, platelet count, and mean platelet volume were significantly higher in type 2 diabetic patients as compared to the control group (P<0.05). On the other hand, the mean hemoglobin was significantly lower in type 2 diabetic patients than the control group (P = 0.007). Anemia was found in 17.9% of type 2 diabetic patients. Longer duration of diabetes (AOR = 3.05, 95% CI = 1.12-8.34) and milk consumption (AOR = 4.60, 95% CI = 1.50-14.00) were significantly associated with anemia. CONCLUSION This study showed a statistically significant variation in some hematological parameters of type 2 diabetic patients compared to control group. Anemia among type 2 diabetic patients was found to be a mild public health problem. Therefore, routine screening of hematological parameters should be considered for proper management of type 2 diabetic patients. Close attention should also be given to the duration of diabetes and dietary practice.

Abstract
Background Patients with Diabetic Mellitus are at higher risk of different complications. Many previous studies show that anemia among diabetic patients is poorly diagnosed. Objective This study aimed to assess the magnitude and associated factors of anemia among adult diabetes patients having regular follow up at the diabetic clinic of Ayder Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, Tigray, 2018/19. Methods This study was conducted the Diabetic clinic of Ayder comprehensive specialized hospital, Tigray regional state, Northern Ethiopia from January to March 2019. A systematic random sampling technique was used to select study participants. About 5 ml of venous blood was collected by experienced laboratory technologists under a complete aseptic technique. Two ml of the venous blood was used for hemoglobin determination. And three ml of the venous blood was used without any anticoagulant for creatinine determination. The association of variables was assessed using bivariate and multivariable analysis in the logistic regression model with p-value, odds ratio, and 95% CI in the SPSS version 24 software. Results From a total of 262 diabetes patients, forty-seven (17.9%) were found to be anemic (6.7% males and 11.5% females). Among the related factors, residency (Adjusted Odds Ratio, 7.69, 95% CI, 2.060, 28.69, p = 0.002,), age of the patients (Adjusted Odds Ratio, 4.007, 95%CI, 1.53–10.51, p = 0.005,) and sex (Adjusted Odds Ratio, 3.434, 95% CI, 1.582, 7.458, p = 0.042,) were significantly associated with anemia. Conclusion According to this study, the magnitude of anemia is high among diabetic patients. Occupation of the participants, residency, HIV status, being female, and age was significantly associated with anemia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to quantify the relationship between insulin resistance and haematological parameters from adolescence to adulthood. METHODS Participants from the EPITeen cohort were evaluated at 13, 17, and 21 years, through standardized procedures. A fasting blood sample was obtained, and insulin resistance was evaluated by the homeostatic model assessment (HOMA-IR). The cross-sectional association between HOMA-IR and haematological parameters at 21 years was quantified in 1671 participants by multivariate linear regression coefficients (β) and 95% confidence intervals (95%CI). For the longitudinal analysis (n = 496), trajectories of insulin and glucose were estimated using model-based clustering, and haematological parameters were compared according to trajectories using ANOVA. RESULTS At 21 years, after adjustment for BMI, positive associations (β [95%CI]) were found between HOMA-IR and red blood count (0.05 [0.03;0.07] in females; 0.02 [0.00;0.04] in males); and haematocrit (0.29 [0.12;0.46] in females; 0.21 [0.04,0.38] in males). In females, HOMA-IR was inversely associated with packed cell volume (PCV) (-0.35 [-0.66;-0.05]) and iron levels (-3.98 [-6.94,-1.03]) but positively associated with white blood cells (0.31 [0.19;0.43]) and platelets (7.66 [3.93;11.39]). In males, a higher HOMA-IR was significantly associated with higher haemoglobin (0.09 [0.03;0.16]). Regarding the longitudinal analysis, similar trends were found, but statistical significance was not reached. CONCLUSIONS Both longitudinal and cross-sectional analyses support the hypothesis that insulin resistance is associated with increased red blood cells count and haematocrit in young adults, even within normal ranges of insulin and glucose.

Lipids Health Dis 2018; 17:283. [PMID: 30545361 PMCID: PMC6293632 DOI: 10.1186/s12944-018-0926-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/24/2018] [Accepted: 11/26/2018] [Indexed: 12/02/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Diabetes mellitus is a non-infectious disease that has a high prevalence worldwide. Altered level of many haematological parameters have been observed in patients with diabetes. The levels of lipids are also affected in diabetes by many factors since carbohydrate metabolism affect lipid metabolism. So far, very little work has been done linking haematological parameters and lipid profile in diabetics. The purpose of this study was therefore to evaluate the haematological parameters and lipid profiles of patients with type-2 diabetes and to correlate the results. Method Three hundred and four (304) patients with type-2 diabetes with an age range of 28 to 70 years (171 males and 133 females) were recruited. About 5 ml of venous blood samples were collected from each participant after an overnight fast. A part of the blood samples was used to determine the lipid profile parameters and the other parts for the haematological parameters. The Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 21.0 and Microsoft office excel (2010) for windows were used for the statistical analysis of the data. Pearson’s correlation were performed between haematological and lipid parameters. Significance was set at p < 0.05. Results The means and standard deviation of all the lipid parameters except TC showed significant difference in both males and females. There was also proportional increment in LDL-C (in males), LDL-C and Triglycerides (in females) as the age of participants increased and the ratio of TC/HDL was higher in males. There was also significant difference in all of the haematological parameters between the male and female populations. Further, a strong, significant positive correlation between RBC and lymphocytes and lipid parameters was observed. However, the correlation between platelets, haematocrit and haemoglobin and the lipid parameters was negatively significant. Conclusion From the results obtained, it can be concluded that there is significant difference in lipid parameters between male and female diabetic patients. Levels of LDL-C and Triglycerides increased as the age of participants increased and the male population showed increased risk for coronary disease. Almost all of the haematological parameters examined differed significantly between the sexes. There was also, both strong positive and negative correlations between the haematological parameters and the lipid profiles.

Abstract
Background: The WHO defined ‘diabetes mellitus’ (DM) as a metabolic disorder characterised by chronic hyperglycaemia with disturbances of carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolism resulting from the defect in insulin secretion, or inaction, or both. When not identified early and controlled, acute and chronic life-threatening consequences may result. Identifying DM early for treatment and management, as well as clinically monitoring recovery and improvement during treatment, involves the assessments of biomarkers. The types, choice, sensitivity and descriptive information trends of these biomarkers are very important. Aim: Some prognostic biomarkers and parameters that this review identified include glycated haemoglobin, white blood cells, mean neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio, total leukocytes and neutrophils, plasma low-density lipoprotein, high-density lipoprotein and very low-density lipoprotein, platelet, fibrinogen, D-dimer and C-reactive proteins. Results: These parameters display increases in DM, while red blood cell, haemoglobin concentration, activated partial thromboplastin time, prothrombin time and partial thromboplastin time are decreased. Conclusion: With sound knowledge of the variations of these markers and parameters, observed reversal during treatment and management of DM and its complications can be better monitored, and guided decisions can be made.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Increasing studies have reported that erythrocyte parameters, including red blood cells (RBCs), haematocrit (HCT), haemoglobin (Hb) and red blood cell distribution width (RDW), are associated with metabolic syndrome (MetS) in adults worldwide. However, the association, stratified by sex, remains to be elucidated, particularly in the Pearl River Delta region of China. Therefore, our aim was to explore the association of erythrocyte parameters with MetS, stratified by sex, in the Pearl River Delta region of China. METHODS In this cross sectional study, 2161 men and 2511 women were enrolled. MetS was diagnosed using a modified version of the Adult Treatment Panel III criteria. Logistic regression analyses were performed to calculate adjusted ORs of erythrocyte parameters associated with MetS stratified by sex. RESULTS The prevalence of MetS was higher in women than in men (35.2%vs26.7%). RBC, HCT, Hb and RDW values increased linearly with the number of MetS components from 0 to 5 identified in both men and women. Among men, the ORs of MetS risk increased across the tertiles of Hb (Q2: OR=1.921, 95% CI=1.170 to 3.151; Q3: OR=1.992, 95%CI=1.198 to 3.312). Men in the highest tertiles of RDW had a 2.752-fold increased risk of suffering from MetS compared with those in the reference group. Among women, the ORs of MetS risk also increased across the tertiles of Hb (Q2: OR=1.538, 95%CI=1.008 to 2.348; Q3: OR=1.665, 95%CI=1.075 to 2.578). Women in the highest tertiles of RBC had a 1.718-fold increased risk of experiencing MetS compared with those in the reference group. CONCLUSIONS MetS was more prevalent in women than in men. The association between erythrocyte parameters and MetS differed between the sexes. RBC and Hb were identified as risk factors for MetS in women and Hb and RDW as risk factors in men.

Abstract
PURPOSE Functional foods can prevent/reduce the risks related to obesity. Lentinula edodes is a highly nutritious mushroom rich in protein, vitamins and minerals. Some studies have demonstrated the hypocholesterolemic effects from L. edodes in high doses, which does not represent the consumption in humans. We evaluated ingestion of a realistic dose of L. edodes associated with a high-fat diet (HFD) on hematologic, biochemical and oxidative stress parameters. METHODS Eighteen male Wistar rats were divided into three groups: control (normal diet); HFD; and HFD + L. edodes (100 mg/kg/day). After 30 days, blood was collected. Biochemical and hematologic parameters were analyzed, as well as oxidative stress biomarkers. RESULTS The HFD increased levels of total cholesterol and triglycerides. Lentinula edodes reduced these parameters significantly to concentrations found in the control group. The HFD increased levels of alanine transaminase and aspartate transaminase (markers of liver damage). Lentinula edodes returned the levels of these enzymes to normal levels and normalized serum levels of urea (which were also increased owing to consumption of the HFD). Lentinula edodes reduced levels of urea and glucose. Lipid peroxidation was increased in rats receiving the HFD, and L. edodes reduced malondialdehyde levels, thereby preventing oxidation of fatty acids. CONCLUSIONS Lentinula edodes was shown to have hypolipidemic, hypoglycemic, hepatoprotective and renoprotective features in doses that are suitable for humans.

Abstract
[Purpose] Osteoporosis is an inflammatory disease, and platelets play a critical role in bone remodeling. Mean platelet volume has been shown to be influenced by inflammation. Our aim was to evaluate the relationship between mean platelet volume and bone mineral density in postmenopausal women. [Subjects and Methods] The records of female patients who had been referred to a tertiary hospital for bone mineral density analysis were retrospectively reviewed. [Results] A total of 175 patients (mean age: 61.3 ± 9.0 years) were enrolled. Overall, 72% (126/175) of patients met the criteria for osteoporosis. Mean platelet volume was found to be inversely correlated with body mass index. There was a significant positive correlation between mean platelet volume and femoral neck bone mineral density in our normal weight osteoporotic group, whereas there was a significant negative correlation in our overweight-obese osteoporotic group. The negative correlation between mean platelet volume and femoral neck bone mineral density in the overweight-obese osteoporotic group persisted after adjustment for confounding factors. Multivariate analyses revealed that mean platelet volume was significantly associated with femoral neck bone mineral density in osteoporotic patients in both our normal weight and overweight-obese groups. [Conclusion] Regardless of mechanisms, mean platelet volume might be used as a biomarker for osteoporosis in clinical settings.

Abstract
Elevated blood pressure is regarded as an independent risk factor for cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. We examined the relation between hematocrit and pre-hypertension as well as the effect of sex, obesity, fasting glucose, and lipids in Chinese adults. The study samples were from a community-based health examination survey in China and included a total of 2,3691 patients with blood pressure in normal range. The odds ratios [ORs, 95 % confidence interval (CI)] of pre-hypertension across increasing quartiles of hematocrit were 1.000, 1.176 (1.050-1.318), 1.213 (1.081-1.363), and 1.364 (1.209-1.540) (P for trend < 0.001), when adjusted for age, sex, body mass index, glutamic-pyruvic transaminase, glutamic-oxalocetie transaminase, serum uric acid, glucose, and lipids. Associations were significant in both men and women, but not in individuals older than 60 years. In addition, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol significantly interacted with hematocrit (P for interaction <0.024). The associations were more evident in patients with low (P < 0.001) and median LDL-C levels (P < 0.013) than those with high glucose levels. Hematocrit was associated with pre-hypertension, and was independent of metabolic risk factors. These associations were not significant in older individuals and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol may modify these associations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes mellitus is (DM) a global public health problem and a complex disease characterized by chronic hyperglycemia that leads to long-term macrovascular and microvascular complications. Recent studies have reported the role of hematological indices in contributing to the vascular injury in diabetic patients. Thus, the aim of this study was to determine hematological indices and their correlation with fasting blood glucose level and anthropometric measurement in type 2 DM patients in comparison with healthy controls. METHODS A comparative cross-sectional study was conducted at the chronic illness clinic of Gondar University Hospital from February to April 2015. A total of 296 participants (148 cases and 148 healthy controls) were selected using systematic random sampling technique. Data were collected using a pretested structured questionnaire. Fasting blood glucose levels and hematological indices were determined by using Bio Systems A25 and Sysmex-KX 21N analyzers, respectively. Independent sample t-test, Mann-Whitney U-test, and correlation statistics were used. A P-value <0.05 was considered as statistically significant. RESULT There was significant difference in red blood cell distribution width (47.3±2.6 fL vs 45.2±3 fL) between diabetic patients and controls. Total white blood cells in 10(3)/µL (6.59±1.42 vs 5.56±1.38), absolute lymphocyte count in 10(3)/µL (2.60±0.70 vs 2.04±0.63), and absolute neutrophil count in 10(3)/µL (3.57±1.46 vs 3.11±1.04) increased significantly in diabetic patients compared with controls, respectively. Among platelet indices, mean platelet volume (10.4±1.1 fL vs 9.9±1.1 fL) and platelet distribution width (14.5±2.1 fL vs 13.4 ±2.1 fL) were found to be significantly increased in the diabetic patients (P<0.05). Anthropometric measurements significantly correlated with white blood cell and platelet indices. CONCLUSION The study showed statistically significant difference in some hematological parameters of diabetic patients compared to controls. Thus, hematological indices could be useful indicators of vascular complication and glycemic control in type 2 DM patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine the association between hemoglobin (Hb) levels and cardiovascular risk factors in a large community-dwelling cohort. METHODS A total of 4,186 women and 4,851 men were enrolled in the study. Data on personal history, physical examination and biochemical parameters were collected. Subjects were categorized by gender and divided into different group according to the level of Hb or blood pressure, and the association between Hb levels and cardiovascular risk factors was examined using Pearson's correlation analysis. RESULTS In both men and women even with normal Hb level, tertiles of Hb levels were positively associated with body mass index (BMI), total-cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), uric acid (UA), diastolic blood pressures (DBP) and fasting plasma glucose (FPG) (all P=0.000 in men and women). Furthermore, significantly increased incidence of hyperuricemia (P=0.000 both in men and women) and obesity (P=0.000 both in men and women) were observed with the gradually increased Hb level. In addition, Pearson's correlation analysis revealed obvious correlation between Hb level and various cardiovascular risk factors including blood pressure and UA. Binary logistic regression analysis further demonstrated that the level of Hb was an important risk factor for elevated blood pressure (OR =1.216; 95% CI: 1.138-1.293, P=0.000 in men; OR =1.287; 95% CI: 1.229-1.363, P=0.000 in women). CONCLUSIONS Increasing Hb levels, even in subjects with normal level were associated with increasing prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors, suggesting that a slightly low Hb level might be beneficial to Chinese community-dwelling individuals.

Abstract
Interest in childhood metabolic syndrome (MetS) has increased substantially due to the increasing prevalence of childhood obesity on a global scale. Early recognition of MetS is critical in order to delay the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD). In this study, we evaluated the relationship between complete blood count (CBC) parameters and MetS among pre-pubertal children which may provide evidence in support of using low cost, readily available clinical haematological parameters for the detection of MetS. A retrospective analysis was carried out on 330 (125 lean vs. 205 overweight) Turkish pre-pubertal children who attend to a paediatric outpatient clinic. Age, gender, puberty, body mass index, CBC parameters, cardiometabolic risk factors including lipid profiles, high sensitive serum reactive protein (hsCRP) and insulin resistance index calculated by homeostasis model assessment (HOMA-IR) were evaluated and compared among lean, overweight children and children with MetS. The mean age of the study population was 7.4 ± 1.9 years. In both gender, the mean values of mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular haemoglobin (MCH) and mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration (MCHC) were significantly lower and red blood cell (RBC), platelet (PLT) counts were significantly higher in overweight children. Overall, 8.4% (n = 28) of patients met the criteria of MetS. Children with MetS had higher levels of PLT and lower levels of mean platelet volume (MPV). Of all the haematological parameters analysed, PLT was positively, whereas MPV was negatively correlated with MetS in girls. In addition, MPV was inversely correlated with fasting blood glucose, HOMA-IR, low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) and low density lipoprotein-cholesterol/high density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C/HDL-C) ratio in girls after adjusting for confounding factors. The risk analyses of MetS in terms of MPV quartiles showed that the adjusted OR (95% CI) for the lowest vs. the highest quartile was 7.71 (1.45-40.89) in girls. These data might suggest that MPV could be another feature of MetS in pre-pubertal girls and might be used as a surrogate marker for MetS in clinical settings.

Abstract
Hematological parameters including red blood cell (RBC) count, hematocrit (Hct), and hemoglobin (Hgb) are independently associated with insulin resistance. The aim of this study was to determine whether hematological parameters are associated with metabolic syndrome (MetS), and its components, independent of gender, body mass index (BMI) and other confounders of cardiovascular disease. A total of 692 men [60 ± 14 (mean ± standard deviation); 20-89 (range) years] and 1,004 women (63 ± 12; 21-88 years) participants without diabetes were recruited from a single community at the time of their annual health examination. We examined the relationship between hematological parameters and insulin resistance assessed by Homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), MetS, and its components. RBC count, Hct, and Hgb were all significantly associated with measures of HOMA-IR. Multiple linear regression analyses for HOMA-IR showed that RBC count, Hct, and Hgb were all shown to be independently and significantly associated with HOMA-IR as well as gender, BMI, alcohol consumption, current smoking status, γ-glutamyltransferase, high molecular weight adiponectin, and uric acid. Inclusion of hematological parameters into the model further increased the coefficient of determination (R (2)). Compared to participants with the lowest quartile of Hct, multivariate-adjusted odds ratio for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR ≥ 1.74) was 2.27 [95 % confidence interval (CI), 1.55-3.31] for the third quartile, and 3.78 (95 % CI, 2.38-5.99) for the highest quartile. Hct was significantly and strongly associated with increased HOMA-IR levels. Hematological parameters were positively associated with insulin resistance and prevalence of MetS in Japanese dwelling-community persons.

Abstract
AIMS To examine associations between hematological parameters (i.e., hemoglobin, hematocrit, platelet counts, red blood cell (RBC), and white blood cell (WBC) counts) and components of metabolic syndrome (MetS) among working adults in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. MATERIALS AND METHODS Participants were 1868 (1131 men and 737 women) working Ethiopian adults. MetS was classified according to the International Diabetes Federation criterion. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) of MetS were calculated using logistic regression procedures. RESULTS Hematologic parameters (hemoglobin, hematocrit, and RBC) were positively associated with MetS components (P(trend)<0.05). In both men and women, white blood cell (WBC) counts were positively associated with BMI and waist circumference (P<0.05). RBC counts were associated with diastolic blood pressure in men (P<0.05) and women (P<0.001). Men in the third quartile of hemoglobin concentrations had 2-fold increased odds (OR=1.99; 95% CI) of MetS compared with the lowest reference quartile (P(trend)=0.031) while women in the fourth hemoglobin quartile had 2.37-fold increased odds of having MetS compared with the reference group (P(trend)=0.003). Both men and women in the fourth quartiles of RBC counts had 2.26-fold and 3.44-fold increased odds of MetS (P=0.002 in men, P<0.001 in women). Among women, those in the fourth quartiles of hematocrit and platelet counts had 2.53-fold and 2.01-fold increased odds of MetS as compared with those in the reference group (P(trend)=0.004 and 0.065 respectively). CONCLUSION Our study findings provide evidence in support of using hematological markers for early detection of individuals at risk for cardiovascular disease.
