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.
Exclusion criteria
  • Missing fasting glucose measurement
  • Missing or zero fasting sample weight (WTSAF)
