Fasting Glucose Reference Ranges for Males, Age 70+
NHANES 2017-March 2020 Pre-Pandemic 2017-2020 · n = 576 · mg/dL
The median fasting glucose for US males aged 70 and over is 114 mg/dL (6.3 mmol/L), with the population distribution shifted upward reflecting the cumulative burden of glucose dysregulation in this age group.
