The derivation of reference ranges adjusted for age, sex and other variables.
A method for deriving reference ranges has been developed that has wide applications in clinical medicine. Data that is not homogenous but has subgroups (e.g. age, sex or social class) can be analysed and mean values for the subgroups determined. Facilities are included which enable outliers to be identified and the form of the distribution to be examined.
