Blood pressure is important because it provides oxygen and nutrients to our tissues and organs, this pressure cause the blood to flow throughout the body via arteries. Blood pressure is developed when our heart pumps the blood on contraction with heart beats. Body weight of human is measured in kilograms. Body weight fluctuation occurs due to the water amount in our body. There are many methods to access the body weight like dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and the percentage of muscles, fats and bones in a human body. We used an instrument known as Sphygmomanometer. We measured weight of individuals, made individual stand on the machine and kept aside all the things and accessories like mobile phone, heavy jackets and shoes. We used a spring scale to measure and weight of a body. In this project, a questionnaire was prepared and asked the subjects about their blood pressure and measured the weight.
