9.Some Useful Information about Blood Pressure

Classification of Blood Pressure by the World Heath 
Organization 

The World Health Organization (WHO) and the International 
Society of Hypertension (ISH) developed the Blood Pressure 
Classification shown in this figure.

This classification is based on the blood pressure values 
measured on people in a sitting position in outpatient 
departments of hospitals.
* There is no universally accepted definition of hypotension. 

However, those having the systolic pressure below 
100 mmHg are assumed as hypotensive.

Example: fluctuation within a day (male, 35 years old)
