The Cuff Size Blood Pressure Measurement Trial
To determine the impact of overcuffing (using a too-large cuff) and undercuffing (using a too-small cuff) on initial BP and average BP measurements when using an automated BP device, overall and stratified by appropriate cuff size To determine if the impact over- or under-cuffing differs based on the following patient characteristics: 1. Hypertensive (≥140/90 based on triplicate measures using appropriately sized cuff) vs. non-hypertensive. 2. Arm circumference (continuous) 3. Obesity status
The investigators propose a cross-sectional study of adult participants recruited from the community. Enrolled participants will have 2-3 sets of three automated BPs measured, each set with a different cuff size. To accomplish this, the investigators will utilize a 2-3 period cross-over design: • Two or three different periods with 3 automated BP measurements, using a BP cuff that is: * Appropriately sized based on mid-upper arm circumference ( standard) * Too small (one size lower than appropriate) * Too large (one size higher than appropriate) Individuals in whom the smallest available cuff (small adult) and largest available cuff (extra-large cuff) is appropriate for their arm circumference will only be able to undergo two periods of BP measurements.
