- Survey years
- 2017-2020
- Sample size
- 280 participants
- Reference population
- US civilian non-institutionalized males aged 20-29 from NHANES 2017-March 2020. Includes the full population (not restricted to healthy individuals) to reflect the population distribution.
- Exclusion criteria
-
- Missing fasting insulin measurement (LBXIN)
- Missing or zero fasting sample weight (WTSAF)
- Age outside 20-29 range
- Notes
- Percentiles computed using the combined pre-pandemic fasting-subsample weight (WTSAFPRP). Fasting insulin measured as LBXIN in µU/mL from the fasting subsample.
