1. A blood pressure measurement cuff that is foldable and wound around a measurement part to compress the measurement part, comprising:
a belt-like body including an outer fabric and an inner fabric facing each other to form a bag shape, the belt-like body housing a fluid bag;
an elliptical ring member having one side attached, along a direction intersecting the belt-like body, to a region adjacent to one end of the belt-like body in a longitudinal direction corresponding to a circumferential direction of the measurement part;
a retaining member attached to a region adjacent to an other end of the belt-like body opposite from the one end; and
a fixing member attached to a front surface of the outer fabric of the belt-like body, the fixing member fixing a part contiguous with the other end of the belt-like body that is folded back through the elliptical ring member when attached to an opposite part of the outer fabric, wherein
an end opening is included in the region adjacent to the other end of the outer fabric, and
the retaining member includes a projection part that is flexible and projects, in a thickness direction, outward of the belt-like body from a back surface of the outer fabric through the end opening, and support parts, each being flat plate-like, contiguous with a base of the projection part, and welded to the back surface around the end opening of the outer fabric along the region adjacent to the other end.
