❓ Frequently Asked Questions

How should I interpret my ferritin compared to these benchmarks?

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.

How 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.

What This Comparison Means

Understanding differences in ferritin 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
⚠️ Important: These are population averages. Individual variation within each group is significant. Always consult healthcare providers for personal health advice.
