Description
Definition
For women who agreed to have blood pressure measured during the survey, BPTARMCM reports, in centimeters, the circumference of the woman's arm, midway between the elbow and the shoulder.
When the blood pressure cuff is too large or too small, errors in measuring blood pressure can occur. Using cuffs that are too small or too short can lead to overestimates of the systolic and diastolic measurements. Similarly, using cuffs that are too large can lead to underestimates. The related variable BPTMODEL reports the blood pressure monitor cuff size used to measure the woman's blood pressure.
