Data and Methodology
- Dataset
- NHANES 2017-March 2020 Pre-Pandemic ( NHANES 2017–2020 2020 , Survey-weighted percentiles from fasting subsample)
- Survey years
- 2017-2020
- Sample size
- 527 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 triglycerides measurement (LBXTR)
- Missing or zero fasting sample weight (WTSAF)
- Age outside 70+ range
- Notes
- Percentiles computed using survey-weighted analysis (WTSAF weight, divided by 2 to pool two cycles). Triglycerides measured as LBXTR in mg/dL.
