Ab Cicumf = abdominal circumference; BMI = body mass index; BP = blood pressure; DBP = diastolic blood pressure; SBP = systolic blood pressure.
* This number denotes a change in the absolute number of people. This is because the initial number of people with normal blood pressure in each category is zero, thus mathematically yielding an indefinite value when calculating the percentage change.
† The National Institute of Statistics and Information (INEI) of Peru divides the age groups into below and over 60 years on the demographic and health survey (DHS), when measuring blood pressure. Therefore, the Korea International Cooperation Agency programs also followed the age standard after consultation with the INEI.
