Data table for Chart 1
  Both sexes Males Females
Total 490 460 550E
12 to 39 years 270E 260E F
40 to 59 years 770 840E 710E
60 to 79 years 940 940 930
E use with caution (data with a coefficient of variation from 16.6% to 33.3%)
F too unreliable to be published (data with a coefficient of variation (CV) greater than 33.3%; supressed due to extreme sampling variability)
Note(s):
Concentrations are presented as a geometric mean, which is a type of average that is less influenced by extreme values than the traditional arithmetic mean. The geometric mean provides a better estimate of central tendency for highly skewed data. This type of distribution is common in the measurement of environmental chemicals in blood and urine.
