1. Query description: The number of participants that fall within the listed criteria. The report is generated on these participants.

2. Test: This is a listing of the lab tests by assigned name. Go to the WHI test listing for a current listing of assays done on WHI biospecimens and the ​ancillary studies they were measured in. ​New assays will be added on a semi-annual basis as they become available to share.  Access to the test result data is restricted to approved investigators.   

3. Description: The test description is the same as the one found in the WHI test listing.

5. Ppts: The total number of participants (Ppts) within your query that have the listed test result at any time point.

6. % of ppts: The percentage of participants (ppts) in your query that have the listed test result at any time point.​

7. Time point of biospecimen collection: The number of assays results by specimen collection time point​ (baseline, AV1, AV3, AV6, Long Life Study [LLS], or other).
