Abstract
Obesity is a chronic disease which has spread all over the world and threatens public global health. Eighty (80) obese individuals based on age groups. The table above show no significant difference in PCV (p=0.241), WBC (p=0.445), LYM (p=0.531), GRAN (p=0.514), MID (p=0.930), LYM (p=0.984), GRAN (p=0.682), MID (p=0.343), RBC (p=0.971), HGB, MCV (p=0.389), MCH (p=0.755), MCHC (p=0.052), RDW_CV (p=0.392), RDW_SD (p=0.177), PLT (p=0.055), MPV (p=0.224), PDW (p=0.432), P_LCR (p=0.096) when compared between obese individuals and non-obese individuals based on age group respectively. Age group has no changes in the haematological parameters of obese individuals among the studied subjects.
