Associations of Platelet Indices with Body Fat Mass and Fat Distribution

Objective This study was undertaken to investigate the associations of platelet indices with body fat, including body fat mass and fat distribution. Methods A total of 3,327 individuals aged 18 to 80 were enrolled. Body fat was assessed by dual‐energy x‐ray absorptiometry.
