- Dataset
- NHANES 2017-March 2020 Pre-Pandemic
- Survey years
- 2017-2020
- Sample size
- 478 participants
- Reference population
- US civilian non-institutionalized males aged 40-49 from NHANES 2017-March 2020. Includes the full population (not restricted to healthy individuals) to reflect the population distribution.
