For the entire group, there was no significant difference in mean systolic BP using the aneroid device, but there was a \u22121.53 \u00b1 5.06 mm\u2009Hg difference in mean diastolic BP. When stratified by age, a lower diastolic BP (\u22121.78 \u00b1 5.2 mm\u2009Hg) was seen in those \u226510 to 18 years using the aneroid device. No differences in systolic BP were observed, and there were no differences in BP by device in individuals &amp;lt;10 years.
