    This document provides guidelines for taking general surveys and measurements of vital signs including: 1) Body mass index categories for underweight, normal weight, overweight, and obesity classifications. 2) Normal ranges for respirations by age group and in adults. 3) Waist circumference thresholds for increased disease risk in men and women. 4) Blood pressure categories for normal, prehypertension, and high blood pressure. 5) Normal temperature ranges taken orally, rectally, and for older adults. 6) Normal oxygen saturation percentage as measured by pulse oximeter for healthy individuals. 7) Normal pulse rate range and classifications for bradycardia and tachycardia.

    Waist Circumference excess abdominal fat is an important risk factor for disease (type 2 diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and cardiovascular disease) Women > 35 Men > 40

    Blood Pressure 120/80 or lower is normal blood pressure 140/90 or higher is high blood pressure Between 120 and 139 for the top number, or between 80 and 89 for the bottom number is prehypertension

    Temperature Oral = 37 C (98.6 F) within a range of 35.8 to 37.3 C (86.4 to 99.1 F) Rectal = 0.4 to o.5 C (o.7 to 1 F) higher Older Adults = 36.2 C (97.2 F)
