“…Consistent with other studies (11)(12)(13)36) , the present research demonstrated a significant (p=0.001) positive correlation of BP with stature, body mass, BMI, body fat, and sum of skinfolds. A direct correlation between body mass and BP has been documented at five years of age (44) , and it was reported that BP increases with body mass (45) , thus implying some physiological relationships between these dependent measures.…”

“…The values vary among the ages, the highest being 1.2 and 1.7% in boys at the ages of 13 and 14−16 years, respectively. The prevalence of hypertension found (29) , others almost similar values (13,30) , while a majority of the studies had disproportionately higher prevalence rates of hypertension (Table 5). (1,12,13,(27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32)(33)(34)(35)(36)(37) The likely reasons for the difference between the prevalence of hypertension in this study and those reported in the literature might be the use of different age groups, differing research methods and definitions of BP, as well as differences in reported prevalence and risk estimates.…”

“…Several International multi-centre studies, e.g. the advanced data from vital and health statistics study (6) , the CASPIAN study (7) , and other researchers (1,(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14) have shown a positive relationship between overweight, obesity, unhealthy lipid profiles, high insulin levels, and hypertension in both children and adolescents. In South Africa studies conducted on Ellisras (15) and Tshannda (16) rural school children in Limpopo province have also reported an increasing prevalence of risk factors in metabolic and cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) among children.…”

Objective: To evaluate the relationship between body mass index, overweight, and blood pressure among South African rural children and adolescents.Methods: The sample involved 1,172 schoolchildren (541 boys and 631 girls) aged 10 to 16 years. Stature, body mass, and skinfolds were measured using standard procedures. Overweight was defined by body mass index for gender and age. Blood pressure was monitored in each child three times using validated electronic devices (Omron HEM-705 CP, Device, Tokyo, Japan). Hypertension was determined as the average of three separate blood pressure readings, in which the systolic or diastolic blood pressure was ≥90 th percentile for age and sex. Descriptive statistics were calculated for all variables.Results: The prevalence of overweight was 5.5% for boys and 4.4% for girls. The children who had systolic blood pressure >90 th percentile ranged from 2.3 to 5.9%. The likelihood of hypertension development among children is noticeable at age 10 for both boys and girls (0.2 and 0.1%, respectively), and ranged from 0.2 to 1.7% for boys and 0.1 to 1.2% for girls. Collectively, the prevalence of hypertension was 4.1 and 2.8% for boys and girls, respectively. Blood pressure correlated positively with stature, body mass, body mass index, body fat, and sum of skinfolds (p<0.001).Conclusions: Blood pressure increased with age in both genders. The routine measurement of blood pressure, as part of physical examinations of schoolchildren, is crucial for early prevention and intervention programs.Key-words: overweight; body mass index; subcutaneous fat; blood pressure; South Africa. RESUMOObjetivo: Avaliar a relação entre índice de massa corporal, sobrepeso e pressão arterial em crianças e adolescentes da área rural da África do Sul.Métodos: A amostra abrangeu 1.172 escolares (541 meninos e 631 meninas) com idades entre 10 e 16 anos. Estatura, massa corporal e dobras cutâneas foram medidas por meio de procedimentos padrão. O sobrepeso foi definido pelo índice de massa corporal para idade e sexo. A pressão arterial foi monitorada três vezes em cada criança com o uso de aparelhos eletrônicos validados (Omron HEM-705 CP, Omron, Tóquio, Japão). A hipertensão foi determinada como a média de três leituras da pressão arterial, em que a sistólica ou a diastólica foi igual ou acima do percentil 90 para idade e sexo. Estatísticas descritivas foram calculadas para todas as variáveis.Resultados: A prevalência de sobrepeso foi de 5,5% para meninos e 4,4% para meninas. A taxa de crianças com pressão arterial acima do percentil 90 variou de 2,3 a 5,9%. A probabilidade do desenvolvimento de hipertensão em crianças é perceptível aos dez anos, tanto para os meninos (0,2%) quanto para as meninas (0,1%), e oscilou de 0,2 a 1,7% para o sexo masculino e de 0,1 a 1,2% para o feminino. Considerando-se a amostra total, a prevalência de hipertensão foi de 4,1% para os meninos e 2,8% para as meninas. A pressão arterial apresentou Violet Kankane Moselakgomo et al correlação positiva com estatura, massa corporal, ...

“…Increased overweight and obesity in youth are a major contributor to pediatric hypertension [3]. Higher BMI has been associated with elevated systolic and diastolic blood pressure (BP) levels, indicating the importance of incorporating strategies for promoting educational programs on healthy lifestyles to prevent hypertension in adolescents [4].

Submit Manuscript | http://medcraveonline.com BackgroundAdolescents with high body mass index (BMI) are at increased risk for future development of obesity-related diseases as adults [1]. Overweight in children and adolescents can result in a variety of adverse health outcomes, including hypertension, dyslipidemia, and the metabolic syndrome [2]. These problems present an urgent public health issue reflecting the effects of a sedentary lifestyle. Increased overweight and obesity in youth are a major contributor to pediatric hypertension [3]. Higher BMI has been associated with elevated systolic and diastolic blood pressure (BP) levels, indicating the importance of incorporating strategies for promoting educational programs on healthy lifestyles to prevent hypertension in adolescents [4]. There is a paucity of clinical trial evidence in this population, and development of prevention interventions for adolescents is a priority at the National Institutes of Health. Implementation of school-based primary prevention programs may over time help reduce the burden of obesity and the physiological/psychological burden associated with cardiovascular disease.Yoga has become popular as a school-based approach [5]. Previous studies [6] have been limited by lack of objective measurement and randomization, factors which may be limited in generalizability and acceptance. Schools present a lucrative opportunity for yoga intervention programs [7], and schools can implement changes that affect physical education and the acceptability of healthy behaviors. Results suggest that schoolbased yoga programs may be appropriate for promoting healthy behaviors [8]. However, conclusions regarding efficacy of schoolbased obesity prevention programs are limited [9]. Although some school-based interventions have reported effects on overweight or obesity [10][11][12], most, particularly those involving large cohorts [13,14], have not [15], and several short-term, school-based programs had little effect on BMI [16,17]. Schoolbased prevention programs have been shown to be feasible, acceptable, and desirable for improving students' health status [18], and improving school-related behavior [19].Yoga techniques to restore and maintain health, and to bring balance to the mind as well as the body, dates back as far as AbstractBackground: Adolescents with elevated body mass index (BMI) are at increased risk for future development of obesity-related diseases as adults. The applications of stress reduction programs such as yoga, especially for youth, are few. This study tested the impact of yoga, (yoga stretching and postures, meditation, alternate nostril breathing) delivered in a high school setting. The objective was to determine the impact of yoga on exercise habits and blood pressure (BP) among a population of overweight adolescents.

“…La elevación en la presión arterial es un problema de salud pública, pero esto es todavía más preocupante cuando se manifiesta en la población de adolescentes 1 . Esta enfermedad ha sido detectada en adolescentes a través de la Encuesta Nacional de Salud y Nutrición (ENSANUT) en el 2012, observándo-se una prevalencia de hipertensión de 1,8%; siendo mayor en mujeres (2,5%) que en hombres (1,2%) 2 .…”
