Conclusion

From our literature review, it can be seen that there is a supposedly related association between BMI and Blood Pressure. However, our results have shown otherwise. This could be due to the fact that the number of respondents is small (n=30), and also that most of our respondents are relatively young and healthy (aged 19-25). Moreover, no account was taken to find out the activities which the respondents went through prior to the measurements of their blood pressures. Such activities include the consumption of caffeine-containing beverages such as tea and coffee, and vigorous exercises. These factors could raise a person’s blood pressure and thus, could have affected our statistical results.
