Hypertension
BLOOD, HYPERTENSION, MOS
Anthropometric data are measured and collected at the research center at mos. 0, 12, and 24. Body measurements, including height, weight, and waist and hip circumference, are measured in kilograms and centimeters. Weight and height are used to estimate the body mass index (BMI = weight/(height)2). Blood pressure, systolic and diastolic, are measured, using an automatic sphygmomanometer. Hypertension is defined as a systolic blood pressure ≥ 140 mmHg or a diastolic blood pressure ≥ 90 mmHg.
