The American Coronary heart Affiliation’s blood strain tips classify hypertension as a studying of 130/80 mm Hg or larger.
This examine’s blood strain classifications had been a bit completely different from the American Coronary heart Affiliation’s tips. Blood strain was grouped into 5 classes: beneath 130/85 mm Hg was labeled as optimum and regular; 130-139/85-89 mm Hg was labeled as excessive regular; 140-159/90-99 mm Hg was labeled as grade 1 hypertension; 160-179/100-109 mm Hg was labeled as grade 2 hypertension; and over 180/110 mm Hg was labeled as grade 3 hypertension. Grades 2 and three blood strain measurements had been considered extreme hypertension for this examine.
The people collaborating within the examine consisted of over 12,000 girls and over 6,570 males between the ages of 40 and 79 at first of the examine.
