Interpreting Your Results
Hypertension Indicator
This unit features our unique Hypertension Indicator. The World Health Organization has
established globally accepted standards for the assessment of high or low blood pressure.
This chart can help you identify where your blood pressure measurements fall according to
WHO classication standards. This chart should only be considered as a guideline; always
consult with your physician to interpret your individual results. Never adjust your
medication(s) dosage, or severely alter your diet or exercise routine without consulting with
your physician.
