Evidence and review
Individual evidence review is pending. The displayed range is a reported reference span, not an independently verified physiological limit.

These are approximate catalog reference spans. Most profiles have not had both endpoints individually verified against named recordings or scores. They are not lab measurements or comfortable everyday ranges; use them for comparison, not as training targets.
