title: [Influence of hypocaloric diet on the platelets of overweight children (author's transl)].
abstract: 20 overweight, otherwise healthy children aged 8--15 years received a hypocaloric mixed diet. Platelet counts and qualities were examined. Before dieting in relation to the weight platelet counts were elevated, their spreading capacity diminished, but the values were still within the normal range. Some tests of platelet qualities were abnormal. During the first weeks of dieting platelet counts decreased continuously while some of their qualities worsened.
