Description

Definition
HWFBP2DIA reports the female household member's second diastolic pressure measurement.

The related variable HWFBP2SYS reports the woman's second systolic pressure measurement.

In the surveys that measured a woman's blood pressure, the interviewer measured the person's blood pressure at three different times. Because blood pressure measurements only represent an instantaneous value, the average of multiple measurements may provide more accurate results. The related variables HWFBP1DIA and HWFBP3DIA report the first and third diastolic measurements taken during the survey.
