    Descriptive history:
    The 130 file type contains data from the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). The oral glucose dose is 40 g per square meter of body surface area.. It consisted of a 25% solution flavored with lemon juice and is ingested in 5 minutes. The tests were performed between July 1977 and the present in BLSA men and women.

    Data collection methodology:
    Blood chemistry.
