PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a blood pressure/pulse wave measuring apparatus having cuffs configured to be easily attached to an upper arm and an ankle of a subject.SOLUTION: The blood pressure/pulse wave measuring apparatus for acquiring a lower/upper limb blood pressure ratio and a pulse wave velocity, includes: a first cuff for pressing a part of an upper limb of a subject； a second cuff for pressing a part of a lower limb of the subject； first and second tubes individually connected to the first and second cuffs； first detection means connected to the first cuff via the first tube for detecting a first pulse wave transmitting through the first tube； second detection means connected to the second cuff via the second tube for detecting a second pulse wave transmitting through the second tube； and a control part for calculating the an ankle/upper limb blood pressure ratio and the pulse wave velocity using the first and second pulse waves. The first detection means and the control part are disposed in a first housing, while the second detection means is disposed in a second housing.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2【課題】被験者の上腕及び足首に装着し易いカフを有する血圧脈波測定装置を提供する。【解決手段】下肢上肢血圧比及び脈波伝播速度を測定する血圧脈波測定装置であって、被験者の上肢の一部を押圧するための第１のカフと、被験者の下肢の一部を押圧するための第２のカフと、第１及び第２のカフに個々に接続された第１及び第２の配管と、第１のカフに第１の配管を介して接続され、第１の配管を伝播してくる第１の脈波を検出する第１の検出手段と、第２のカフに第２の配管を介して接続され、第２の配管を伝播してくる第２の脈波を検出する第２の検出手段と、第１及び第２の脈波を用いて足関節上腕血圧比及び脈波伝播速度を算出する制御部とを備え、第１の検出手段と制御部とは第１の筐体内に配置され、第２の検出手段は第２の筐体内に配置される。【選択図】図２
