1211 USE THE TABLE BELOW TO DETERMINE THE CORRECT CODE TO RECORD ON THE BLOOD PRESSURE REPORT AND REFERRAL FORM.
CIRCLE THE ROW IN WHICH THE VALUE FOR THE SYSTOLIC BLOOD PRESSURE FROM Q1206 OR Q1210 IS FOUND.
THEN CIRCLE THE COLUMN IN WHICH THE VALUE FOR THE DIASTOLIC BLOOD FROM Q1206 OR Q1210 IS FOUND.
THE VALUE WHERE THE ROW AND COLUMN YOU HAVE CIRCLED INTERSECT IN THE TABLE WILL BE USED IN COMPLETING Q1212.

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.
