Description
Definition
HWFBPARMCIRC reports the circumference (in centimeters) of the female household member'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 HWFBPMODEL reports the size of the blood pressure monitor cuff used to measure the woman's blood pressure.
