Dear User, after looking at the final report and the questionnaire I found the following:
- only adults between the age of 40-96 years were eligible for blood pressure measurement
- This data was only collected in the Household
- Households for this survey were revisited up 4 times if no respondents at home
- From the questionnaire, it appears there were two readings for blood pressure recorded
- From looking at the frequencies, I looked at SH220 "Presión sistólica". The S in SH indicates it's a survey specific variable, the H in SH indicates a Household variable.
