Ron Put Posted September 2 Report Share Posted September 2 (edited) Maybe platelets is nothing to worry about, Mike 🙂 I just came across an interesting platelets study:Lower platelet count in healthy centenarians correlates with dispersion of the QT intervalResults: Centenarians showed a lower platelet count compared with controls, which was significant with respect to older controls, group B (p<0.05). QTd values did not significantly differ between centenarians and controls. A significant correlation between QTd and platelet count was evident in centenarians but not in controls. This correlation became evident in control subjects with a platelet count < or = 240,000/mm3. Conclusions: We hypothesize that a reduced number of platelets and the maintenance of normal QTd may contribute to extreme longevity and protect centenarians from cardiovascular events.

Mike Lustgarten Posted September 3 Author Report Share Posted September 3 (edited) Thanks Ron, but that platelets < 200 is associated with an increased all-cause mortality risk would reduce the odds of getting to centenarian status... In further support of that, in Figure 1, average platelet count in centenarians was ~200 Edited September 3 by Mike Lustgarten Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
