“…Growth and maturation variables are major determinants of BP in childhood; height, body weight, and BMI are consistently and positively correlated with BP in most pediatric series [14,15], and have to be considered in the evaluation of the presumed hypertensive child, before a definitive diagnosis of hypertension is made [5]. In our sample we confirmed these associations and also evaluated their possible contribution as confounding variables by investigating the relationship between systolic BP and salt taste sensitivity.…”

To investigate salt perception and discrimination and their possible association with blood pressure (BP), 72 healthy adolescents (42 boys) aged 9-21 years (mean 16.1 years) were studied. BP was measured with a standardized technique. Anthropometric measurement and conventional renal function tests were performed. Sensitivity tests to recognize the presence of salt when given simultaneously distilled/deionized water and a low sodium concentration water solution, and discrimination tests consisting of six graded samples of different saline solutions presented in randomized order were used to assess individual gustatory sensitivity. Average systolic BP values were 113.2±1.6 mmHg in boys and 109.6±1.9 mmHg in girls. Mean threshold level for salt sensitivity was 4.55±0.6 mmol/l. Systolic BP and salt sensitivity showed a significant correlation (r=−0.33, P<0.01) even when adjusting for weight. Discrimination score was correlated with salt sensitivity (r=0.27, P<0.05). There is a significant association between gustatory perception and BP in Spain adolescents, although a real cause-effect relationship has not been established.

“…A weaker association was observed between diastolic BP and somatometric variables, as observed in previous studies [14], and no association was found between diastolic BP and salt taste sensitivity. Measurement of diastolic BP is generally associated with a higher degree of error than systolic BP [16].…”

“…Although the aim of this study was not to perform a screening for HBP or determine the prevalence of HBP-which would have involved measuring BP three times and over different days [3]-we observed that the prevalence of high BP was greater than that reported in previous studies [10]. This fact is especially relevant, since the reference study in Spain [24] and another study performed also in Spain [11] quoted a prevalence of HBP of 3% and a third study reported a 5% prevalence for the 90th percentile [12]. These prevalences are much lower as compared to those found in our study (HBP was found in 22.6% of boys and in 15.22% of girls, although they did not meet the diagnosis criteria for HBP).…”

Maternal pregnancy vomiting and offspring salt taste sensitivity and blood pressure

et al. 2005

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between salt taste perception and blood pressure (BP) in normotensive adolescents as modified by maternal fluid losses during the first trimester of gestation. Seventy-two healthy adolescents (42 boys) aged between 9.0-21.1 years, recruited from the population-based RICARDIN study, were included. A maternal questionnaire about the duration of pregnancy, birth weight and vomiting or diarrhoea in the first trimester of gestation was collected. The sample was categorized into: "vomiter descendents", those whose mother reported significant vomiting in the first trimester of gestation and "non-vomiter descendents" the remaining. Height, weight, and standardised BP measurement were recorded. Salt gustatory performance was assessed using a behavioral sensitivity test to determine the lower NaCl gustatory threshold, and a behavioral discrimination test, measuring the ability to distinguish among different saline solutions. Salt taste sensitivity showed a significant correlation with systolic BP (SBP) in "vomiter descendents" ( r = -0.66; P =0.003), but not in "non-vomiter descendents". Adjusted by gender, and actual height and weight, salt sensitivity performance remained significantly related to SBP. An association between descendents' SBP and maternal vomiting during gestation exists, adding a new element of evidence to the "Barker hypothesis".
