RESUMO: Este estudo teve como objetivo verificar se existe associação entre pressão arterial (PA) alterada em adolescentes com fatores de risco às doenças cardiovasculares de seus pais. Estudo transversal com 859 adolescentes, sendo 479 (55,8%) do sexo feminino, entre dez a 17 anos, estudantes de escolas da rede pública e privada, do município de Santa Cruz do Sul-RS. Considerou-se alteração na PA sistólica e diastólica os casos limítrofes e hipertensão. Foram utilizados os valores de razão de prevalência (RP), por meio da regressão de Poisson. Constatou-se elevado percentual de adolescentes com alteração na PA (19,4%), sendo esta superior entre os adolescentes, cujas mães apresentam hipertensão (RP: 1,09) e histórico de infarto (RP: 1,25). Entre os pais, somente colesterol elevado associou-se com a alteração da PA, nos adolescentes (RP: 1,08). Conclui-se que é elevada a prevalência de PA alterada em escolares, estando esta associada com fatores de risco às doenças cardiovasculares dos pais. PALAVRAS-CHAVES: Adolescente; Fatores de risco; Pressão arterial; Relação pais-filho. ALTERED ARTERIAL BLOOD PRESSURE IN ADOLESCENTS: ASSOCIATION WITH RISK FACTORS TO THEIR PARENTS´CARDIOVASCULARPARENTS´CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASES ABSTRACT: Current analysis verified whether there was any association between altered arterial blood pressure (BP) in adolescents and risk factors for their parents´cardiovascularparents´cardiovascular diseases. Current transversal analysis involved 859 adolescents, 479 (55.8%) females, aged 10-17 years, in government-run and private schools in Santa Cruz do Sul RS Brazil. Borderline and hypertension cases were considered alterations in systolic and diastolic AP. Prevalence ratio (PR) rates were employed by Poisson regression. Results showed high percentage of adolescents with changes in BP (19.4%), which was higher among adolescents with hypertensive mothers (PR: 1.09) and stroke history (PR: 1.25). Only high cholesterol among parents was associated with AP alterations in adolescents (PR: 1.08). High AP in school children is associated with risk factors for parents´cardiovascularparents´cardiovascular diseases. KEY WORDS: Adolescents; Risk factors; Arterial blood pressure; Parents-children relationship. INTRODUÇÃO Casos de pressão arterial (PA) elevada, em crianças e adolescentes, vêm aumentando nos últimos anos, cujo histórico Saúde e Pesquisa, Maringá (PR)
