Explanation

"Normal ranges" in medicine refer to the expected values for a healthy person's test results. These ranges are established by testing a large group of healthy people and observing what appears to be normal for most of them. For example, if a doctor tests your blood, they will compare your results to the normal range to see if your levels are too high or too low. However, what's considered normal can sometimes vary depending on factors like age and gender.
