WHO HEALTH INDICATOR

The World Health Organization (WHO)
and the National High Blood Pressure
Education Program Coordinating
Committee have developed a blood pres-
sure standard, classifying blood pressure
ranges into 4 stages. This unit is equipped
with an innovative blood pressure classifi-
cation indicator, which visually indicates
the assumed risk level (normal, prehyper-
tension, stage 1 hypertension, or stage 2
hypertension) of each reading. Symbols
are described below and classifications
follow the WHO guidelines as described
earlier in this manual (page 7).
