Core Tip This study pioneers the establishment of next-generation reference intervals (RIs) for pepsinogen (PG) in Chinese adults and elderly populations using Generalized Additive Models for Location, Scale, and Shape. We identified age- and sex-specific dynamics: PG I and PG II levels increased with age (PG I plateaued post-60 years; PG II rose continuously), with males exhibiting higher values. Partitioned RIs based on age were established, but next-generation RIs demonstrated superior accuracy. By capturing continuous physiological trends, next-generation RIs could potentially reduce diagnostic misinterpretation.
