Is arm sphygmomanometer better or wrist sphygmomanometer better?

Arm type: because the aorta is measured, the measurement accuracy is good, and there is no restriction on the use of people; But it is more troublesome to use than wrist, especially when there are many clothes in winter.

Wrist posture: suitable for people with low blood pressure and young people without blood circulation disorder. It is very convenient to wear on your wrist.

Note: wrist posture is not suitable for people over 50 years old, because the wrist blood vessels of middle-aged and elderly people are aging, and the measurement error is large; At the same time, it is not suitable for people with blood circulation disorders, such as diabetes, hyperlipidemia and hypertension.

To sum up: the arm type is better and more accurate. The common arm sphygmomanometers with good reputation are Omron and Youpin.
