Abstract :

Metabolic syndrome is a combination of unfavorable health factors including abdominal obesity, dyslipidemia and hypertension and glucose intolerance and is strongly associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease and type2 diabetes. A total of 104 subjects included in this study with metabolic syndrome and 20 healthy individuals who came for routine health check–up have been recruited for this study as control subjects with no history of metabolic syndrome and didn’t come under the criteria of metabolic syndrome we also excluded individuals with chronic diseases like carcinoma, tuberculosis, HIV. Association of platelets and haematological parameters in metabolic syndrome evaluated that platelet parameters is a competent indicator of metabolic syndrome. Investigations showed significant relationship between platelet count and metabolic syndrome in Indian subjects and the platelet count in patients were lower when compared with normal group. We also observed a decreased platelets count in the cases as compared to normal.
