Data and Methodology
- Dataset
- NHANES 2017-March 2020 Pre-Pandemic ( NHANES 2017-2020 2020 , Survey-weighted percentiles from full MEC sample)
- Survey years
- 2017-2020
- Sample size
- 781 participants
- Reference population
- US civilian non-institutionalized males aged 60-69 from NHANES 2017-March 2020. Includes the full population (not restricted to healthy individuals) to reflect the population distribution.
- Exclusion criteria
-
- Missing total cholesterol measurement (LBXTC)
- Missing HDL cholesterol measurement (LBDHDD)
- Missing or zero MEC sample weight (WTMEC)
- Age outside 60-69 range
- Notes
- Percentiles computed using the combined pre-pandemic MEC weight (WTMECPRP). Non-HDL cholesterol is not a published NHANES variable: it is computed for each participant as total cholesterol minus HDL cholesterol (LBXTC minus LBDHDD) before weighting, never by subtracting published percentiles.
