Note: p-value is the result of Welch’s t-test. Number of participants of females in Pingelap for height, weight, and BMI was 19 because one participant was not able to measure. Number of participants of females in Mand for blood pressure was 27 because two participants were not able to measure due to the size of arm cuff. SBP—systolic blood pressure (SBP), DBP—diastolic blood pressure.
