The age-specific 2.5th, 25th, 50th, 75th, and 97.5th centiles of N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) according to by sex have been depicted. Males have been depicted as solid lines and females have been depicted as dashed lines. The 2.5th, 25th, 50th, 75th, and 97.5th centiles of NT-proBNP have been depicted in red, yellow, purple, green, and blue, respectively. The inset in the figure shows the 2.5th, 25th, 50th, 75th, and 97.5th centiles of NT-proBNP on a magnified y-axis in individuals below 40 years of age.
