It can be used in contexts such as statistics, health assessments, or any situation where values are compared to a standard or average.
Example: "The patient's blood pressure reading was recorded as an above normal value, indicating potential health concerns."
Alternatives: "higher than average value" or "elevated value".
Carvalho et al. [ 15] in a study conducted in a pediatric intensive care unit found that increased heart rate >2 SD above normal value for age occurred in 85% of SIRS patients, abnormal leukocyte count in 77%, and increased respiratory frequency >2 SD above normal value of age in 47.5%.
7– 9 WCs above normal value are more of a risk factor for metabolic syndrome than BMI, 10 and weighted evidence indicates that WC coupled with BMI predicts health risk better than BMI alone.

Similarly, plasmatic glucose was above normal values.
Glycemia was still above normal values but nonetheless had decreased (145 ± 31 mg/dl, n = 2).
