95th upper percentiles of LV mass index in the reference sample (Characteristics of the reference sample are shown in Table 1)
| Men and women (N = 822) | ||
|---|---|---|
| ppLVmassHa | 1.33 (1.29, 1.37) | |
| ppLVmassHWb | 1.31 (1.28, 1.36) | |
| Men (N = 320) | Women (N = 502) | |
| LV mass/BSA | 106.2 (103.8, 110.9) | 84.6 (82.2, 88.3) |
| LV mass/Ht2 | 65.7 (62.3, 68.0) | 53.0 (51.1, 55.3) |
| LV mass/Ht2.7 | 45.1 (42.7, 47.0) | 38.0 (36.5, 39.5) |
| LV mass | 203.5 (194.4, 216.6) | 140.3 (136.0, 146.3) |
LV mass in grams, BSA body surface area in m2, Ht height in meters
95% confidence interval for the 95th percentile is given in parentheses
a
The 95th percentile of the ppLVmassH values equal to 1.33 means that 95% of the reference sample had LV mass values less than 133% of that predicted on the basis of height and gender
b
The 95th percentile of the ppLVmassHW values equal to 1.31 means that 95% of the reference sample had LV mass values less than 131% of that predicted on the basis of height, weight, and gender
