Popis: Objectives: To investigate is there a relationship between obesity parameters, mean platelet volume (MPV) and neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and to examine is there a change in MPV and NLR level with weight loss.Material and Methods: The retrospective study consisted of two groups as the group losing weight after 24 weeks of diet (WLG) and the control group not losing weight (CG). Body mass index (BMI), MPV, NLR and lipid values of each group were recorded at the beginning and at the end of the study.Results: The study consisted of 186 individuals 94 of whom were in WLG and 92 were in CG. There was a statistically significant positive correlation between the initial value of MPV and BMI in WLG (p
