Methodology

Equipment used for measuring:

Height:
Measuring Tape and Ruler


Weight:
Bathroom Scale


Blood Pressure:
Sphygmomanometer and Stethoscope


A sample size of 30 was randomly chosen from our class.

They were briefed to refrain from eating or drinking, smoking and taking medications that can affect blood pressure at least 1 hour prior to taking measurement.

The blood pressure readings were taken first prior to the height and weight measurements.
