Predicted brachial artery blood pressure differences (ΔBP, short–tall BP) between the 5th and 95th percentiles for a representative male (age, 50 years; % body fat, 25) and female (age, 50 years; % body fat, 40) at 3 levels of BMI. The predicted values were derived using non-Hispanic White. Other race/ethnic groups for men and women displayed the same differences in blood pressure readings with the exception of female PP, although the same trend occurred. BMI = body mass index, BP = blood pressure, DBP = diastolic blood pressure, MBP = mean arterial blood pressure, PP = pulse pressure, SBP = systolic blood pressure.
