Upper/Lower Strength Ratio: Males, Age 36-59

What these numbers mean

A value around 0.690 is typical (50th percentile) for males in this age group. The middle 50% of the reference population fall between about 0.625 and 0.766; values below or above that central range sit in the lower or upper half of the distribution. Position in the distribution does not, on its own, indicate better or worse health for this metric.
