Abstract
A sphygmomanometer includes a body 10 and a cuff 20 which is integrally attached to the body 10 and wrapped around the wrist. The body 10 is attached to the cuff 20 such that the body is located on the thumb side of the arm L when the sphygmomanometer is fitted on the wrist. Consequently, a precise blood pressure measurement and precise blood pressure fluctuation can be obtained without restriction on the location where the blood pressure measurement is conducted.
