Description

Definition
HWMBPAVGSYS reports the male household member's average systolic pressure measurement.

The related variable HWMBPAVGDIA reports the man's average diastolic pressure measurement.

In the surveys that measured a man's blood pressure, the interviewer measured the person's blood pressure at three different times. Because blood pressure measurements only represent an instantaneous value, the average of multiple measurements may provide more accurate results. The related variables HWMBP1SYS, HWMBP2SYS, and HWMBP3SYS report the first, second, and third systolic measurements taken during the survey.
