hematocrit_infants {httk} | R Documentation |
For infants under 1 year, hematocrit was not measured in NHANES. Assume a log-normal distribution where plus/minus 1 standard deviation of the underlying normal distribution is given by the reference range. Draw hematocrit values from these distributions by age.
