a
Values determined as the weighted 75th percentile or 25th percentile (HDL and creatinine clearance only) value of women ages 17–35 in NHANES, 1999–2006 (n=3,546).
b
Weighted percentages for study population (n=877) shown.
CRP, C-reactive protein; HbAlc, glycosylated hemoglobin; HDL, high-density lipoprotein.
