Abstract
Provided is a method for estimating blood pressure using a variable characteristic ratio. In the method, a pressure wave detected at a measurement body part of a subject is obtained to calculate a characteristic ratio of the subject based on a correlation between the characteristic ratio used to determine blood pressure at a measurement body part and the shape of the pressure wave detected at the measurement body part. The blood pressure at the measurement body part of the subject is estimated using the calculated characteristic ratio.
