Abstract
Eighty-three subjects aged 60 and over underwent noninvasive ambulator y blood pressure (ABP), casual blood pressure (CBP) and serum C-peptid e measurements. The significant correlation with C-peptide was more hi ghly close for ABP than CBP, and among the ABP measurements, afternoon (14:00-22:00 h) systolic blood pressure has the strongest correlation with C-peptide (p < 0.05). We conclude that ABP is still superior to CBP in situations where blood presure is the dependent variable and se rum C-peptide the independent one.
