BR-102 plus / BR-102 plus PWA
Based on research with a surveyed cross-section of the population of
about 2,000 people average values and 90% confidence interval were
determined. An increase of the Alx until the 55th year has been
identified and after the 55th year the increase slows for both sexes.
The level difference of the Alx between the sexes is about 8 to 10%.
If the measured values exceed the sex- and age-specific interval,
further examinations according to the European examination
guidelines for hypertension [3] are recommended in order to detect
the reason for the dysfunction.
