We are having a discussion about the requirement for "Height, weight, body mass index (or waist circumference, if appropriate), and blood pressure" as the clinic the patient was seen in did not have the equipment available to measure for height and weight. We can't come to a consensus on if the waist circumference replaces all 3 components or just BMI. Any input would be helpful, documentation stating one way or another would be great.
