Creatine Kinase (CK)
Males, Age 50-59
The median creatine kinase (CK) for US males aged 50-59 is 146 U/L, with 90% of the population falling between 64 U/L and 452.1 U/L.

Data and Methodology
- Dataset
- NHANES 2017-March 2020 Pre-Pandemic ( NHANES 2017-2020 2020 , Survey-weighted percentiles from the full MEC sample)
- Survey years
- 2017-2020
- Sample size
- 632 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 creatine kinase value (LBXSCK)
- Missing or zero combined pre-pandemic MEC sample weight (WTMECPRP)
- Age outside 50-59 range
- Notes
- Percentiles computed using the combined pre-pandemic MEC weight (WTMECPRP). Creatine kinase measured as LBXSCK; the NHANES codebook labels the unit IU/L, which is the same unit as U/L.
