Overview

Supports large-scale home BP monitoring feasibility; leaves open outcome validation of derived normal limits before guiding practice.

Structured PICO

P
Population
608 healthy adults (327 men, 281 women; average age, 32.6 +/- 3.5 years) representing a wide range of educational backgrounds in Tecumseh, Michigan.
I
Intervention
Blood pressure (BP) self-determination (home BP monitoring, average 12.7 readings over 1 week).
O
Outcome
Average home blood pressure and upper limit of normalcy.

Large-scale home blood pressure monitoring is feasible and establishes the upper limit of normal home BP at 142/92 mm Hg for men and 131/85 mm Hg for women based on this cohort.
