Description

Definition
HWMBPSMOKEREC indicates whether the male household member smoked in the 30 minutes before the first blood pressure measurement. Smoking can lead to temporarily raised blood pressure levels, although the levels typically return to the individual's normal level 20-30 minutes after smoking. In general, individuals are advised to not smoke for 30 minutes prior to a blood pressure measurement.
