How do french blood pressure readings translate to those in UK?

To translate a French blood pressure reading to a UK reading, use the following formula:

UK systolic = (French systolic / 10) + 10

UK diastolic = (French diastolic / 10) + 10

For example, if a French blood pressure reading is 140/90 mmHg, the UK equivalent would be 150/100 mmHg.
