READ THE DECLARATION BELOW, THEN CIRCLE:
1) Your blood pressure today is within the acceptable limit (systolic less than 130 and/or diastolic less than 85). We recommend that you see a doctor to redo the measurement of your blood pressure in the next two years. You need to show this sheet to the doctor.
2) Your blood pressure today is acceptable, but in the high range of the limit (systolic 130-139 and/or diastolic 85-89). We recommend that you see your doctor to redo the measurement of your blood pressure in the next year. You need to show this sheet to the doctor.
3) Your blood pressure today is above the acceptable range (systolic 140-159 and/or diastolic 90-99). We recommend that you consult your doctor to redo the measurement of your blood pressure in the next two months. You need to show this sheet to the doctor.
4) Your blood pressure today is moderately high (systolic 160-175 and/or diastolic 100-109). We recommend that you consult your doctor to redo the measurement of your blood pressure in the next 30 days. You need to show this sheet to the doctor.
5) Your blood pressure today is high (systolic 160-175 and/or diastolic 110-119). You must consult a doctor in the next week to retake your blood pressure. You need to show this sheet to the doctor.
6) Your blood pressure today is very high (systolic = 210 and/or diastolic = 120). You must consult a doctor or a health center immediately to retake your blood pressure. You need to show this sheet to the doctor.
Your blood pressure was measured by a trained individual. These measurements were conducted within a survey and thus does not represent a medical diagnosis. A proper interpretation of the measurements should be done by a doctor.

Description
Definition
For women who agreed to have blood pressure measured during the survey, BPSUMM reports the referral reading from the blood pressure measurements, indicating whether the woman has normal blood pressure (below 130/85), high normal blood pressure (130-139 / 85-89), mild hypertension (140-159 / 90-99), moderate hypertension (160-179 / 100-109), severe hypertension (180-209 / 110-119), or very severe hypertension (210+ / 120+). The classification for an individual is based on whichever of the two values measured (systolic or diastolic pressure) was higher.
This summary variable is based on the average of three blood pressure measurements, with the average values for systolic and diastolic pressure reported in the related variables BPAVGSYS and BPAVGDIA.
