“…This can be explained primarily by the relationship with multifactorial causes, such as the increase in excess weight, obesity, sedentarism, heredity, among others. The teenagers of this study presented, to a great extent, adequate weight (73%); however, it is worrisome to see that, when clustered, excess weight and obesity add up to 22.6% of the total number of teenagers in this study, given that the weight and the BMI are recognized as the major determinants of high BP levels in children and teenagers, since the higher the BMI, the higher the blood pressure levels 28,29 .…”

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between sexual maturation and anthropometric and blood pressure indicators in teenagers. This was a population-based cross-sectional study, conducted with 345 teenagers, aged 10 to 19 years, between 2018 and 2020. In this study, data referent to sociodemographic and anthropometric variables, blood pressure, and sexual maturation were collected. The data analysis was performed by applying the Principle Component Analysis (PCA), which generated three components and then tested the correlation between sexual maturation and the generated components. Most of the teenagers were female (53%), normotensive (66.1%), and with a normal weight (73%). A positive correlation was found between breast development and component 1 and component 2, as well as a negative correlation between the breasts and component 3. In the boys, the development of genitals and pubic hair was positively correlated with component 2 and inversely correlated with component 3. It could therefore be concluded that there is a relationship between sexual maturation and the anthropometric and blood pressure indicators, which proved to be representative variables for cardiovascular risk in teenagers, even if not in their entirety.

“…Isso pode ser explicado, principalmente, pela sua relação com as causas multifatoriais, como o aumento de sobrepeso, obesidade, sedentarismo, hereditariedade, entre outros. Os adolescentes deste estudo apresentaram, em sua grande maioria, peso adequado (73%), entretanto é preocupante vislumbrar que, quando agrupados, sobrepeso e obesidade somam 22,6% do total de adolescentes pesquisados, sendo que o peso e o IMC são reconhecidos como os maiores determinantes de altos níveis de pressão arterial em crianças e adolescentes, pois quanto maior o IMC, maior são os níveis pressóricos 28,29 .…”

Resumo Objetivou-se investigar a relação entre a maturação sexual com indicadores antropométricos e pressóricos de adolescentes. Estudo transversal de base populacional, realizado entre 2018 e 2020, com 345 adolescentes de 10 a 19 anos. Coletou-se variáveis sociodemográficas e antropométricas, pressão arterial e maturação sexual. A análise dos dados foi feita por meio da Análise de Componentes Principais, que gerou três componentes e, posteriormente, testou-se a correlação entre a maturação sexual e os componentes gerados. A maioria dos adolescentes eram do sexo feminino (53%), normotensos (66,1%) e com peso normal (73%). Houve correlação positiva entre o desenvolvimento das mamas com o componente 1 e o componente 2, e correlação negativa entre mamas e o componente 3. Nos meninos, o desenvolvimento dos genitais e pelos pubianos estiveram positivamente correlacionados com o componente 2 e inversamente correlacionados com o componente 3. Conclui-se que existe relação entre a maturação sexual e os indicadores antropométricos e pressóricos, sendo variáveis representativas de risco cardiovascular em adolescentes, mesmo que não em sua totalidade.

“…This proportion was higher than that found in adolescents from Petrópolis, among whom only 27.4% do not measure BP. [26] The lack of adequate devices to measure BP in children and adolescents, combined with misinformation about the occurrence of the disease in childhood and adolescence, may explain these findings. [27] These confirm the need for a greater emphasis on the introduction of blood pressure measurements in the clinical practice of health professionals in patient health care for children, as this would aid in an early identification and intervention regarding high blood pressure and, consequently, in reducing disease rates in adulthood.…”

To determine the prevalence of prehypertension (PH) and hypertension (AH) in quilombola children and adolescents, as well as to analyze sociodemographic, behavioral, and health characteristics.Prevalence study conducted in random samples of quilombola children and adolescents from 06 to 19 years of age, in remaining quilombo communities in Cachoeira-Bahia. Identification, sociodemographic, behavioral, anthropometric, and blood pressure (BP) data were used. Descriptive analyses of the variables of interest were performed based on absolute (N) and included frequencies (percentage, prevalence). Pearson's Chi-square (x2) and Fisher Exact tests determined possible differences.Of the 668 participants, 54.3% were children, 51.2% were male, and 29.4% presented alterations in BP. PH and AH were found in 12.7% and 14.3% of the children, respectively; for adolescents, these values were 12.5% and 15.4%, respectively. No statistically significant difference was found between the prevalence of AH in the 2 population groups, nor between the PH measurements. Most families reported a low socioeconomic status. Among children, 6.6% were underweight, 14.6% were overweight, 10.7% were obese, 12.7% presented a Waist-to-Height Ratio (WHtR) > 0.5; 70.1% were inactive and 88.4% had a sedentary lifestyle; 5.6% of the adolescents were underweight, 12.8% were overweight, 9.2% were obese, 11.5% presented a WHtR > 0.5; 78% were inactive and 92.1% had a sedentary lifestyle. Normotensive children and adolescents, and those with alterations in BP differed only in terms of the Body Mass Index (P = .007) and WHtR (P < .001). The consumption of unhealthy foods was high.The high prevalence of PH and AH, as well as of exposure to potential risk factors for AH in quilombola children and adolescents, reveals a worrisome situation, and demands further studies to identify risk factors for this disease and the need for interventions beyond the health sector, especially as regards disease prevention and control in the early stages of life, aiming to reduce its prevalence as adults.Abbreviations: AH = arterial hypertension, BMI = body mass index, BP = blood pressure, PH = prehypertension, WHtR = waist to height ratio.
