Validating prediction equations for mid-arm circumference measurements in adults: National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 2001-2012

摘要

Background Accurate measurement of blood pressure (BP) requires choosing an appropriate BP cuff size. Objectives The objective of this study was to examine the validity of regression equations to predict mid-arm circumference (mid-AC) using 2001-2012 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey height and weight data.
