Baseline clinical measurements
BP and pulse rate will be measured with an automatic
machine (Omron 705 CP sphygmomanometer with
printout) after the participant has been sitting upright for
at least 5 minutes. The appropriate cuff size will be used
(13 by 32, or 16 by 42 cm if arm circumference is ≥ 33
cm). Three readings will be taken 1 minute apart. The first
will be discarded and the mean of the last two used in the
analysis.
