Popis: SummaryThe effects of biological variations on platelet counts were investigated in 694 healthy subjects aged 18 to 60 years living in three cities including Chengdu (Sichuan Province), Suzhou (Jiangsu Province) and Harbin (Heilongjang Province) in China. Platelet counts in healthy subjects were significantly lower in Chengdu (52∼202 X 109/L) and Suzhou (60∼259 X 109/L) than in Harbin (154∼348 X 109/L)(p 0.05) were recorded. These findings suggest that the platelet counts could be greatly influenced in healthy subjects by biological variations such as geographical, seasonal, and lipid variations.
