sb20 on the IR file asks about "high BP on two or more occasions by doctors". This variable likely provides a more clinically validated measure of hypertension, as it requires a diagnosis by a healthcare provider.
s728b asks about currently having hypertension, which may be a self-reported measure. Self-reported data can be subject to some bias, as individuals may not always accurately report their health conditions.
Given the clinical validation of the sb20 variable, I would recommend using this variable as the primary measure for high blood pressure in your analysis, as it provides a more robust and reliable indicator of hypertension.
