Conventional population-based reference intervals (popRIs) are established on the ranking of single measurement results from at least 120 reference individuals. In this study, we aimed to explore a new model for popRIs, utilizing biological variation (BV) data to define the reference interval (RI) limits and compared BV-based popRI from different sample sizes with previously published conventional popRIs from the same population.
