“…Overweight and obesity are associated with increased IMT in children with or without essential hypertension [34,[36][37][38]. Likewise, increased arterial stiffness has also been reported to be more common in hypertensive children than in normotensive ones [39].…”

Hypertension is a global problem, affecting both developed and developing nations. In children and adolescents, hypertension has gained ground in cardiovascular medicine, thanks to the progress made in several areas of pathophysiologic and clinical research. Childhood hypertension is often asymptomatic and is easily missed, even by health professionals. Target organ damage is detectable in children and adolescents. Management of hypertension includes lifestyle changes and pharmacologic treatment. In the case of secondary hypertension, pharmacologic treatment usually is required. In essential hypertension, assessment of early organ damage provides a useful tool for treatment decisions.

“…Por ello se han utilizado marcadores indirectos del daño orgánico derivado de la HTA (en corazón, vasos sanguíneos y riñones), aunque se disponga de una cantidad de datos sensiblemente menor que en adultos 14,15 . Entre los marcadores más significativos se encuentran la hipertrofia del ventrículo izquierdo (HVI) 16,17 , el engrosamiento y endurecimiento de las arterias de gran tamaño [18][19][20][21][22] y la excreción urinaria de albúmina (EUA) 23 .…”

“…The greater prevalence of overweight and obesity in the boys of our sample is striking, but the use of a small sample limits the generalization of our findings. In terms of the greater number of cases of HBP found in our sample, both systolic and diastolic, it is important to realize that we used duplicated BP measures and that, in general, the prevalence of HBP decreases when more than two readings are taken during one visit (the first reading is ruled out and the last readings are averaged) and when subsequent visits are paid to an already reported case of pre-or hypertension [43,44].…”

Objective The objective of this study was to identify associations in the prevalence of overweight, obesity and high blood pressure between children and their parents, as well as their eating and physical patterns. Methods In this cross-sectional study, we obtained data on 83 pairs of school-aged children and one of their parents relating to dietary habits and various physical parameters, including the body mass index (BMI) and blood pressure of the children, which were adjusted by age and gender. Both the children and the parents were asked to complete a questionnaire aimed at providing measures of eating behavior. The questions focused on the consumption of fruit and vegetables and soda drinks as well as on physical activity patterns. Parent BMI was calculated from selfreported height and weight values. Results Obesity was diagnosed in 10.8% of the children, and the prevalence of overweight was 28.9%. There was a relationship between a child's weight status and that of his/ her parent according to the BMI; 45% of overweight/obese children had overweight/obese parents. In addition, a parent's fruit and vegetable consumption was associated with his/her child's fruit and vegetable consumption (r = 0.47, p \ 0.001), and both were associated with soda drink consumption in both parents and children (r = 0.30, p \ 0.001). Conclusion Our results confirmed that there is a relationship between the weight status, fruit and vegetable consumption and soda drink intake of children and those of their parents.
