Blood pressure was measured using the Omron HBP-1300 professional portable blood pressure monitor (HBP-1300, Omron Corp, Kyoto, Japan). The reliability of the measurement tool was ICC=.94 in SBP and ICC=.92 in diastolic blood pressure (DBP) [25 (link)]. Measurements were taken after the participants arrived at the laboratory, sat, and rested for at least 5 min. The cuff was leveled with the heart, then tightly wrapped around the upper arm 2 cm above the elbow, and placed over the brachial artery.
