Women had significantly lower mean serum creatinine values than men, despite a similar level of renal function. This is likely because of the smaller muscle mass of women compared with men, as suggested by the women's significantly lower mean weight. The asterisk indicates P<.005. To convert creatinine to milligrams per deciliter, divide by 88.4. Figure Legend:
