9. Screening Guidelines High blood pressure (hypertension) is usually defined in adults 18 years and older as: systolic blood pressure (SBP) of 140 mm Hg or higher, or diastolic blood pressure (DBP) of 90 mm Hg or higher. Due to variability in individual blood pressure measurements, it is recommended that hypertension be diagnosed only after 2 or more elevated readings are obtained on at least 2 visits over a period of 1 to several weeks.

10. Blood Pressure Stages

11. Screening Intervals  The Joint National Committee on Prevention, Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Pressure (JNC 7) recommends:  Screening every 2 years with BP< 120/80  Screening every year with SBP of 120-139mmHg or DBP of 80-90 mmHg
