Blood Pressure Measurements from Jordan Community Screening

932 blood pressure measurements were collected in a community screening effort in Jordan. The dataset, created by Anas Khaleel, was last updated in March 2026 and is available under a CC BY 4.0 license. It is stored in a small 5.5 KB XLS file.

Use Cases

• Analyze measured blood pressure distributions to identify prevalence of high-risk categories like readings above 140/90 mmHg.
• Assess risk stratification by linking blood pressure measurements to participant risk predictors questionnaire data.
• Study hypertension development within the screened population by comparing data from participants with and without current hypertension.

Strengths

• Contains 932 individual blood pressure measurements, providing a specific sample size for analysis.
• Explicitly includes data on participants with and without current hypertension, enabling comparative studies.
• Tags indicate specific clinical thresholds like 90 mmHg, suggesting data granularity useful for risk assessment.

Limitations

• The dataset is very small at 5.5 KB, limiting the scope and statistical power of any analysis.
• Specific column names and data structure are unknown, complicating immediate use without inspection.
• Geographic coverage is limited to Jordan, which may reduce generalizability to other populations.
