Prevalence of Spurious Systolic Hypertension in an Active Young Adult Population

Abstract

This investigation will do a prospective evaluation of preventative health assessment (PHA) records. The primary objective is to determine the prevalence of pseudo or Spurious Systolic Hypertension (SSH) in an active young adult population. This investigation will also compare the established normal brachial blood pressure (BP) ranges with central blood pressure (cPB) in an active young adult population. We will also describe the association between self-reported levels of physical activity and cBP parameters.
