Calculated October 12, 2026 from public NHANES 2015–2016 data joined to the demographics file by participant ID. Exam weights are used for hs-CRP, HDL, total cholesterol, and HbA1c. Fasting subsample weights are used for ApoB, triglycerides, LDL, glucose, and insulin.
Percentile = 100 × (weight of values below my result + half the weight of equal values) ÷ total eligible weight. Participants are aged 20+ with a nonmissing marker and positive appropriate weight. Fasting durations are restricted to 8.5–less than 24 hours for triglycerides/LDL, 9–less than 24 for glucose, and 8–less than 24 for insulin/ApoB. The peer view further selects men aged 40–49. People taking medication or living with chronic conditions are included.
These are computed point estimates rounded to whole percentiles, not CDC-published clinical ranks. Confidence intervals are not estimated. Small peer samples, assay differences, and changes since 2015–2016 limit precision. Near-zero percentiles are shown as “Below 1st” rather than an exact tail ranking.
Glucose and insulin comparisons require comparable fasting conditions; my July 8 draw was fasting (self-reported, confirmed October 12, 2026). LDL used different calculation methods in the two sources. A percentile does not establish a diagnosis, personal treatment target, or a longevity benefit.
