- Survey years
- 2017-2020
- Sample size
- 658 participants
- Reference population
- US civilian non-institutionalized females aged 50-59 from the NHANES 2017-March 2020 sex steroid hormone subsample, excluding pregnant participants. Includes the full sampled group (not restricted to healthy individuals) to reflect the population distribution.
- Exclusion criteria
-
- Age under 20
- Pregnant at time of exam (RIDEXPRG == 1)
- Missing Luteinizing Hormone (LH) measurement
- Missing or zero hormone subsample weight (WTTSTPP)
- Age outside 50-59 range
- Notes
- Percentiles computed using survey-weighted analysis (WTTSTPP hormone subsample weight). Values below the assay detection limit are NHANES-imputed as the detection limit divided by the square root of 2.
