The age distribution among participants in the Registry and the HTC PP were within a 1-5% difference of each other within each age category. Compared to the 2014 U.S. population, both the Registry and HTC PP participants were much younger.  Fifty-one percent of the Registry participants were less than 20 years of age compared to 27% of the U.S. population. Nineteen percent of the Registry participants were 45 years or older compared to 40% of the U.S. population (Figure 3).
