Fasting Glucose: By Age Group
How do metric values change across different age groups? Understand age-related variations.
- Group A has no percentile data
- Group B has no percentile data
💡 Key Insight
Fasting Glucose values are very similar between undefined and undefined, with less than 2% difference.

| 50th | 95 mg/dL | 95 mg/dL | 0.0% |
| 75th | 112 mg/dL | 112 mg/dL | 0.0% |
| 95th | 136 mg/dL | 136 mg/dL | 0.0% |

📊 Fasting Glucose Across Age Groups
🔬 Blood Glucose & Diabetes Prevention
Fasting blood glucose is a key marker for diabetes risk. The American Diabetes Association estimates that 96 million U.S. adults have prediabetes, and most don't know it. Early detection through regular testing enables lifestyle interventions that can prevent or delay type 2 diabetes.
Key Research Findings
- Lifestyle intervention can reduce diabetes risk by 58% in high-risk individuals
- HbA1c provides a 2-3 month average, complementing fasting glucose
- Continuous glucose monitoring reveals daily patterns that single tests miss
- Postprandial glucose spikes may predict risk even with normal fasting values
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Why is fasting glucose similar between undefined and undefined?
Fasting glucose variations reflect differences in insulin sensitivity, metabolic rate, and body composition. Age-related increases in glucose are associated with rising diabetes risk.

Find your appropriate demographic group and percentile range. Being in the 25th-75th percentile (middle 50%) is typical. Percentiles below 5th or above 95th may warrant discussion with a healthcare provider, though clinical context is essential—a single measurement rarely tells the whole story.
Source: Clinical GuidelinesHow reliable is this comparison data?
This data comes from the CDC's National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), a continuously conducted survey that uses rigorous sampling methodology to represent the U.S. civilian non-institutionalized population. Sample sizes typically exceed 5,000 per demographic group, with weighted analysis accounting for the complex survey design.

Understanding differences in fasting glucose between different groups and populations is important for:
- Accurate benchmarking – Compare yourself to the appropriate reference population
- Clinical interpretation – Healthcare providers use demographic-specific ranges
- Research understanding – Biological and lifestyle factors influence these differences
- Personalized health goals – Set realistic targets based on your demographic
