Does MPV Go Up With Age? The Connection Between Platelet Size and Aging

Research has documented a direct relationship between advancing age and a larger mean platelet volume (MPV), a measure of average platelet size found in routine blood tests. This correlation suggests that for many, MPV does indeed go up with age, reflecting natural shifts in the body's platelet production and overall health. Understanding this trend is key for interpreting test results within the broader context of senior health.
