“…The technical validity of these monitors has been confirmed previously in adults, children, and adolescents. [13][14][15] The midarm circumference was measured and the cuff width adapted accordingly (pediatric, standard adult, or oversized cuff for midarm circumference of 17 to 22, 22 to 32, or 32 to 42 cm, respectively). Systolic BP (SBP), diastolic BP (DBP), mean arterial pressure (MAP), and heart rate (HR) were calculated as the mean of the 3 measurements.…”

Abstract-Carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity is an established method for characterizing aortic stiffness, an individual predictor of cardiovascular mortality in adults. Normal pulse wave velocity values for the pediatric population derived from a large data collection have yet to be available. The aim of this study was to create a reference database and to characterize the factors determining pulse wave velocity in children and teenagers. Carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity was measured by applanation tonometry. Reference tables from pulse wave velocities obtained in 1008 healthy subjects (aged between 6 and 20 years; 495 males) were generated using a maximum-likelihood curve-fitting technique for calculating SD scores in accordance with the skewed distribution of the raw data. Effects of sex, age, height, weight, blood pressure, and heart rate on pulse wave velocity were assessed. Sex-specific reference tables and curves for age and height are presented. Pulse wave velocity correlated positively (PϽ0.001) with age, height, weight, and blood pressure while correlating negatively with heart rate. After multiple regression analysis, age, height, and blood pressure remained major predictors of pulse wave velocity. This study, involving Ͼ1000 children, is the first to provide reference values for pulse wave velocity in children and teenagers, thereby constituting a suitable tool for longitudinal clinical studies assessing subgroups of children who are at long-term risk of cardiovascular disease.

There is, thus, an increasing need to establish validated noninvasive tools to forecast early arterial disease and to be able to characterize elevated cardiovascular risk in youngsters. 5 It has been widely recognized that aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV) is a sensitive marker of arterial stiffness and, consequently, of cardiovascular outcome. 6 -9 However, large multicenter clinical studies aimed at generating normal PWV values and assessing the influence of anthropometric factors on PWV in healthy children and teenagers are still lacking.In our previous investigations, we showed that, in specific patient populations with growth retardation, the use of agematched controls failed to reflect the true impact of cardiovascular disease on PWV. Rather, controls matched for both age and height or normalized PWV data such as PWV Z score or PWV/height should be used in such instances. 10 -12 The aim of the present study was to create a reference database and to characterize the factors determining PWV in children and teenagers. To achieve this, the distribution mode of PWV was evaluated in a large group of healthy children and adolescents usin...

Objective: To analyze and compare the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors in scholars from different socio-economic status. Methods: A total of 1021 children and adolescents were evaluated. Weight, height, waist circumference and blood pressure were measured. Both physical activity practice and socio-economic status (low and high) were reported. Results were analyzed through frequencies of variables and the chi-square test. Results: A lower prevalence of physical inactivity (p<0.001) and higher prevalence of abdominal obesity (p=0.038) and overweight (p=0.010) were observed in the sample from high socio-economic status. No differences regarding elevated blood pressure were observed in those from low and high socio-economic status. When the cardiovascular risk factors were aggregated, the prevalence of one or two factors was also higher among the subjects from high socio-economic status. Conclusion: With the exception of physical inactivity and elevated blood pressure, the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors was higher in those from high socio-economic status.
