95%CI: 95% confidence interval; fl = femtolitre; MPV: mean platelet volume; PDW: platelet distribution width; OR: odds ratio.

Subjects were divided into three subgroups according to the reference ranges for Chinese adults: low (<15%), normal (15–17%) and high (>17%) for platelet distribution width, as well as low (<7 fl), normal (7–11 fl), high (>11 fl) for mean platelet volume, respectively.

The subjects were divided into four groups according to waist—to—height ratios: <0.50, 0.50–, 0.55—and ≥0.60.
