Lymphocytes

Females, Age 70+

The median lymphocyte count for females aged 70+ in the US population is 1.8 (x1000 cells/uL), with 90% of this group falling between 0.9 and 3.1.

Data and Methodology

Dataset
NHANES 2017-March 2020 Pre-Pandemic ( NHANES 2017–2020 2020 , Survey-weighted percentiles from pre-pandemic MEC sample)
Survey years
2017-2020
Sample size
690 participants
Reference population
US civilian non-institutionalized females aged 70+ from NHANES 2017-March 2020. Includes the full population (not restricted to healthy individuals) to reflect the population distribution.
Exclusion criteria
  • Missing lymphocytes measurement
  • Missing or zero MEC sample weight (WTMECPRP)
  • Age outside 70+ range
Notes
Percentiles computed using survey-weighted analysis (WTMECPRP weight from the pre-pandemic combined file). Lymphocytes measured as LBDLYMNO in 1000 cells/uL.

Reference population
US civilian non-institutionalized females aged 70+ from NHANES 2017-March 2020. Includes the full population (not restricted to healthy individuals) to reflect the population distribution.
Exclusion criteria
  • Missing lymphocytes percent-of-WBC measurement
  • Missing or zero MEC sample weight (WTMECPRP)
  • Age outside 70+ range
Notes
Percent-of-WBC distribution computed using survey-weighted analysis (WTMECPRP weight). Lymphocytes percent measured as LBXLYPCT, a distinct NHANES variable from the absolute count.
