3.1How to Sit Correctly When Taking a Measurement
Correct posture during measurement is necessary to get accurate results.

•Measurements should be taken in a quiet place and you should be in a relaxed, seated position. Make sure that the room is not too hot or too cold.
•Avoid eating, drinking alcohol, smoking, or exercising for at least 30 minutes before taking a measurement.
•Do not move or talk during measurement.

The gap between the chair and the top of the table should be between 25cm to 30cm.
Remove tight fitting clothing from your upper arm, and any thick clothing such as a sweater. Do not place the cuff over thick clothes and do not roll up your sleeve if it is too tight.
Place the center of the arm cuff so that it is at the same height as your heart.
