GENDER VARIATION IN HEMATOLOGICAL PARAMETERS IN HEALTH AND DEVELOPMENT OF ATHEROSCLEROSIS IN LATER LIFE
Journal Title: International Journal of Basic and Applied Physiology - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Background & objectives: Complete blood cell count is a frequently used laboratory test for the diagnosis of several diseases, in health examination and preoperative evaluation. Values of haematological parameters are affected by a number of factors even in apparently healthy population. Recently it was reported that white blood cell count and platelet counts are associated with cardiovascular diseases and that the premenopausal women have a lower incidence of cardiovascular disease than men possibly due to female sex hormonal effect on platelet functions. So this study was conducted to determine any sex variation in haematological parameters in apparently healthy young adult subjects. Methods: 80 young adults between 17 to 20 yrs of age group participated in this study voluntarily. Blood samples of subjects were collected and haematological parameters were analysed by Sysmex KX-21 automated haematology analyzer. The haematological differences in between male and female subjects were analyzed by paired students’t test. Results: There was statistically significant difference in differential leucocyte count, haemoglobin and platelet count between males and females. Interpretation & Conclusion: Gender variation in haematological parameters could be based on various factors like age, sex, body build, and nutritional, environmental and social factors with ethnic backgrounds
