Abstract
Introduction
The aim of this study is to evaluate and compare the suitability of routine blood neutrophil values as indicators of obesity-associated inflammation.
Methods
In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we assess absolute neutrophil counts (ANCs) and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) values in subjects with and without obesity and analyze the weight of both parameters on the disease. Additionally, correlation studies between ANC and NLR with BMI, a parameter internationally accepted to define obesity are performed.
Results
Quantitative data from 12 (ANC) and 11 (NLR) studies were included, with a total of 4475 participants. The meta-analysis shows that while both parameters are increased in the obesity group, ANC values present higher differences with the control and less heterogeneity among studies. Additionally, unlike NLR, ANC demonstrates a positive and significant correlation with BMI.
Conclusion
Overall, this meta-analysis demonstrates that ANC is a more reliable and stable parameter than NLR for the assessment of obesity-related inflammation, which offers clinicians a novel tool to assist in preventing complications related to obesity.
期刊介绍：
Obesity Reviews is a monthly journal publishing reviews on all disciplines related to obesity and its comorbidities. This includes basic and behavioral sciences, clinical treatment and outcomes, epidemiology, prevention and public health. The journal should, therefore, appeal to all professionals with an interest in obesity and its comorbidities.
Review types may include systematic narrative reviews, quantitative meta-analyses and narrative reviews but all must offer new insights, critical or novel perspectives that will enhance the state of knowledge in the field.
The editorial policy is to publish high quality peer-reviewed manuscripts that provide needed new insight into all aspects of obesity and its related comorbidities while minimizing the period between submission and publication.
