variables affecting blood pressure

Project title:
variables affecting blood pressure
Middle school
None

Hypothesis:

I believe that someone who takes care of themselves by dieting & exercising will have the best blood pressure.

Materials:

Stethoscope
spygmomenometer

The Procedure:

I put people into several groups.
2 athletes, 2 over-weight people, 2 thin people and 2 housewives, and 2 businessmen. I took their blood pressure in the morning and in the evening. I did this for a period of two weeks.

Results:

After a two week analysis of blood pressures I found that the thin person had the best blood pressure.

Comment #906: Great work! But I have a ques

Great work! But I have a question for you. Just because some people are thin, it doesn't mean that they exercise and diet carefully. Did you determine whether the thin people in your experiment actually lead healthy lifestyles? Otherwise, there could be a gap in your project that needs to be addressed.
