Objective: To determine whether crossing of the legs at the knee or at the ankles during blood pressure measurement in sitting position has an effect on blood pressure.
Methods: One hundred and eleven patients, 60 women, mean age 52+/-17 years (19-80): 49 chronically treated hypertensives, 28 treated diabetics and 34 normotensives were measured by one trained investigator, with an oscillometric device (Omron 705CP) on the left arm. We looked for the difference of blood pressure with the ankle or the knee crossed versus the uncrossed position.
