“…However, the association remained significant even after adjusting for this variable. In this same sample of adolescents, the blood pressure levels were higher in black individuals compared to whites and browns 12 . Meanwhile, resting pulse rates showed exactly the opposite association.…”

“…The literature is consistent in showing a strong correlation between these two variables. However, some risk factors for elevated pulse rate differed from those for blood pressure in the same sample 12 , indicating that the two variables have similarities but also differences in their epidemiology.…”

“…Interventions to promote physical activity may help decrease pulse rates in adolescents 16 . After adjustment, there was no significant association between pulse rate and BMI, perhaps because of the strong association between BMI and blood pressure 12 .

(SD = 11.0) in the total sample, 76.5bpm (SD = 10.7) in boys, and 80.2bpm (SD = 10.9; p < 0.001) IntroductionThe epidemiological transition, characterized by a progressive decrease in morbidity and mortality from infectious diseases and a proportional increase in the burden of non-communicable diseases and injuries 1 , demands a reorientation of public health research. One of the field's main current challenges is to elucidate the risk and protective factors for non-communicable diseases and injuries, including the investigation of biological and social exposures that increase the disease risk at the population level. Evidence shows that resting pulse rate is a strong predictor of risk for coronary diseases 2,3,4,5 .Until recent years there was a clear tendency to evaluate risk factors for non-communicable diseases and injuries mainly in adults. However, it is now known that the future risk of chronic diseases is influenced by factors that begin during intrauterine life 6 and extend into adulthood, with adolescence as a particularly important period when life habits are established 7 . The literature on factors associated with resting pulse rate is scarce, especially in relation to risk factors for pulse rate levels. Most articles on resting pulse rate evaluate its consequences 2,3,4,5 , especially for risk of coronary diseases. Studies on adolescents are even more scarce 8 .This study aimed to fill part of the gap in this knowledge by describing the resting pulse rate ARTIGO ARTICLE

“…Although the relationship between physical activity and HBP has previously been discussed [16][17][18][19][20] , the largest body of evidence indicates no association between physical activity and HBP 24 . The results of the present study corroborated previous studies that indicated no association between practicing sports and HBP in young Brazilians 9,11,[21][22][23] .…”

Background We evaluated the prevalence and the factors associated with repeated high systolic (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) at 6- and 11-year follow-ups of children from the Pelotas (Brazil) 2004 Birth Cohort. Methods All live births to mothers living in the urban area of Pelotas were enrolled in the cohort. Blood pressure (BP) values were transformed into Z-scores by sex, age, and height. High SBP and DBP were defined as repeated systolic and diastolic BP Z-scores on the ≥95th percentile at the two follow-ups. Prevalence (95% confidence interval) of repeated high SBP, DBP, and both (SDBP) were calculated. Associations with maternal and child characteristics were explored in crude and adjusted logistic regression analyses. Results A total of 3182 cohort participants were analyzed. Prevalence of repeated high SBP, DBP and SDBP was 1.7% (1.2–2.1%), 2.3% (1.8–2.9%) and 1.2% (0.9–1.6%), respectively. Repeated high SBP was associated with males, gestational diabetes mellitus (2.92; 1.13–7.58) and obesity at 11 years (2.44; 1.29–4.59); while repeated high DBP was associated with females, family history of hypertension from both sides (3.95; 1.59–9.85) and gestational age < 34 weeks (4.08; 1.52–10.96). Repeated high SDBP was not associated with any of the characteristics investigated. Conclusion Prevalence of repeated high SBP, DBP, and SDBP were within the expected distribution at the population level. Nonetheless, gestational diabetes mellitus, obesity, family history of hypertension, and prematurity increased the risk of repeated high blood pressure measured at two occasions 5 years apart.
