The formula to calculate the estimated blood pressure is:
\[ BP = (1.5 \times W) + (0.5 \times H) - 120 \]
Where:
Blood pressure by height and weight refers to the correlation between a person’s blood pressure and their physical attributes such as height and weight. It is a concept used in medical studies and health assessments to understand the impact of body size on blood pressure. Generally, overweight or obese individuals are more likely to have high blood pressure due to increased workload on the heart.
Please note that this formula is a simplified estimation and may not accurately reflect an individual’s blood pressure. Always consult with a healthcare professional for accurate measurements.
Let's assume the following values:
Step 1: Calculate the Estimated Blood Pressure (BP):
\[ BP = (1.5 \times 70) + (0.5 \times 170) - 120 = 105 + 85 - 120 = 70 \text{ mmHg} \]
The estimated blood pressure is 70 mmHg.
