trust me, bro:
here is the receipt.
the claim
Blood pressure is exclusively measured on the upper arm due to standardization and accuracy
the verdict
OVERSTATED
true in a weaker form than the claim states
confidence 0/100

Evidence consistently shows that upper arm blood pressure measurement remains more accurate and standardized than alternative sites like the wrist, which tend to overestimate readings and exhibit wider error margins.

what the evidence does support

Blood pressure is predominantly measured on the upper arm because it is generally more accurate and standardized than wrist-based measurement.
