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
- 932 participants
- Reference population
- US civilian non-institutionalized males aged 40-49 from NHANES 2017-March 2020. Includes the full population (not restricted to healthy individuals) to reflect the population distribution.
- Exclusion criteria
-
- Missing transferrin saturation value (LBDPCT)
- Missing or zero MEC sample weight (WTMEC)
- Age outside 40-49 range
- Notes
- Percentiles computed using survey-weighted analysis (WTMEC weight, divided by 2 to pool two cycles). Transferrin saturation measured as LBDPCT in percent, calculated in NHANES from serum iron and TIBC.
