Data and Methodology
- Dataset
- NHANES 2017-March 2020 Pre-Pandemic
- Survey years
- 2017-2020
- Sample size
- 514 participants
- Reference population
- US civilian non-institutionalized males aged 50-59 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)
- Age outside 50-59 range
- Notes
- Percentiles computed using survey-weighted analysis (WTSAF weight, divided by 2 to pool two cycles). The wide P95 reflects the substantial prevalence of diabetes in this age group. Glucose measured as fasting plasma glucose (LBXGLU) in mg/dL.
