Label Type Description
BM001 Question [Equipment needed: Omron HEM-780N Monitor, Batteries, Stopwatch] I would like to measure your blood pressure and pulse using this monitor and cuff which I will secure around your left arm. I would like to take three blood pressure measures. I will ask you to relax and remain seated and quiet, with legs uncrossed and feet flat on the floor, during the measurements. First, I will place the cuff on your left arm. Once the cuff is placed appropriately on your arm and we are ready to begin, I will ask you to lay your arm on a flat surface, palm facing up, so that the center of your upper arm is at the same height as your heart. I will then press the start button. The cuff will inflate and deflate automatically. It will squeeze your arm a bit, but won't hurt. After we have completed all three measures, I will give you your results. Do you understand these directions and are you willing to provide this measurement?
BM002 Question Did you smoke, exercise, or consume alcohol or food within the 30 minutes prior the blood pressure test?
BM003 Question Do you have a rash, a cast, edema (swelling) in the left arm, open sores or wounds, or a significant bruise where the blood pressure cuff will be in contact?
BM004 Question [Ask only if BM003=1]Do you have a rash, a cast, edema (swelling) in the right arm, open sores or wounds, or a significant bruise where the blood pressure cuff will be in contact?
BM005_intro Question When the device is in the correct position and the R is relaxed, press the button to Start. Measure blood pressure and pulse three times with one minute gap between each of the measurements. No need to remove the cuffs and the device between the measurements. Record measurements in chart: (Enter 993 in first systolic reading if R tried but was unable to do it/if an unresolvable equipment problem occurs. Enter 999 if R chose not to do it.) If the lowest reading obtained is greater than 140 systolic or greater than 90 diastolic, fill out the High-Blood Pressure Card and leave it with the respondent. [Soft Check: Systolic: BM006=>90 or =<250; BM010=>90 or =<250; BM014=>90 or =<250] [Diastolic: BM007=>40 or =<150; BM011=>40 or =<150; BM015=>40 or<=150] [Pulse: BM008, BM012, BM016=>60 or <=150] [Hard check: BM006

BM088 Question I would like to collect a small sample of your blood using just a finger prick. We would be very grateful if you would agree to provide us with a sample of blood. This is an important part of the study, as the analysis of blood samples will tell us a lot about the health of the population. Before we begin, I would like to read this consent form. Longitudinal Ageing Study in India (LASI) International Institute for Population Sciences (IIPS) Additional Consent Form for Blood Sample Collection for Storage and Future Use This is in continuation with your individual consent that you have already given. Further, we would like to inform you that as a part of this longitudinal ageing study, we want to collect few drops of your blood sample using finger prick. The blood sample will be used to test anemia, diabetes, and chronic infections. Your blood sample will be extremely useful to plan special health care services for the older population in the country. The test uses new, disposable sterile instruments that are clean and completely safe in use. I will prick your finger to draw few drops of blood. These drops will be soaked on a piece of filter paper. These pieces of paper will be used to check various health conditions. The blood sample will be sent to National AIDS Research Institute (NARI), which is a premier institute devoted to health research for analysis and storage. The information you will provide will be kept strictly confidential. The results of the blood test will only be used for research and planning purposes without any personal identification. However, if you decide not to provide a blood sample, it is your right and we will respect your decision. Should you have any question about the survey please feel free to ask me or contact the concerned authority (Interviewer: Provide Card).
