“…Pathophysiological speculations imply that the impairment of insulin sensitivity or adrenergic nervous system activity are responsible for the relationship observed (Julius & Johnson, 1985;Philipp et al, 1978;Ferrannini et al, 1987). The problem is even more intriguing during childhood, since the in¯uence of sexual maturation on BP levels should also be considered (Tanner & Whitehouse, 1976;Vartiainen et al, 1986;Daniels et al, 1996).…”

Objective: This study is aimed at investigating the in¯uence of body size, body fat and sexual maturation on blood pressure (BP) in adolescents. Design: A cross-sectional study. Setting: A suburban student population of Southern Italy. Subjects: One hundred ninety students attending the ®rst and second year of a secondary school. Five were excluded because they were affected by major diseases. The remaining were 98 M and 87 F (mean age for either group 12.0 AE 0.8 y). Methods: Blood pressure was measured by a mercury sphygmomanometer, body weight by a platform beamscale, other measurements included height, biceps, triceps, subscapular and suprailiac skinfolds by a caliper; sexual maturation was evaluated according to Tanner. Results: Body size was greater than in Tanner's population: in particular body weight (but not height) in our sample markedly exceeded that of the children of the same age in Tanner's population. Boys had higher systolic blood pressure (SBP) than girls (BP 109a64 AE 12a10 vs 103a63 AE 11a8 mmHg, P`0.02 for SBP), while heart rate and waistahip ratio were lower.During puberty Ð evaluated on the basis of pubic hair growth Ð BP in girls was higher than in the prepubertal phase (107a66 AE 9a7 vs 99a61 AE 10a7, P`0.01). Pubertal boys showed a reduced percent of body fat (calculated from four skinfold measurements) in comparison to prepubertal ones (21.0% AE 4.5 vs 24.5% AE 7.1, P`0.01). In linear correlation analysis, height, BW, BMI and lean body mass were found to be signi®cantly associated with SBP in both sexes and to diastolic blood pressure (DBP) in girls. Percent body fat was correlated with SBP in boys, while sexual maturation was associated to SBP and DBP in girls only.Multiple regression analysis indicated a signi®cant contribution of body size to BP variability, particularly in the girls. Sexual maturation was excluded from the ®nal regression equations when height, BW or lean body mass were present. Conclusions: These data indicate that body weight in these adolescents is greater that in Tanner's population of the same age and sex. Body size appears to be a major determinant of BP, whereas sexual maturation seems to in¯uence BP levels mainly through body growth. The in¯uence of percent body fat on BP setting seems to be of limited importance.

Objectives: To examine the association of objectively assessed physical activity (PA) with markers of total and central body fat in adolescents, and to determine whether meeting the current PA recommendations (X60 min day À1 of at least moderate intensity PA) is associated with reduced levels of total and central body fat. Subjects/Methods: A total of 365 Spanish adolescents aged 12.5-17.5 years participated in this cross-sectional study. PA was assessed by accelerometry and expressed as average PA (counts per minute), and min day À1 of light, moderate, moderate to vigorous (MVPA) and vigorous PA. MVPA was dichotomized into o60 min day À1 and X60. Total body fat was measured by DXA, BodPod and the sum of six skinfolds. Central body fat was measured by DXA at three regions (R1, R2 and R3), and waist circumference. Results: All markers of central body fat were negatively associated with vigorous PA (Po0.01) after controlling for sex, age and pubertal status. Abdominal adiposity measured at R1, R2 and R3 was also negatively associated with MVPA (Pp0.001), and with average PA (Po0.01). All markers of total body fat were negatively associated with vigorous PA (Po0.01), MVPA (Po0.01) and average PA (Po0.05). Adolescents engaged on at least 60 min day À1 MVPA presented lower levels of total (Po0.05) and central body fat (Pp0.01). Conclusions:The results suggest that vigorous PA may have a greater effect on preventing obesity in adolescents than does PA of lower intensity, whereas both average PA and at least moderate PA may have an impact on total and central body fat in youth.
