“…In the present study, as well as in the study by Araujo et al 26 , the variables weight, BMI and AC were positively and significantly associated with BP levels. This fact reinforces the importance of measuring these indicators to detect hypertension and future cardiovascular risks.…”

“…As many other studies show, the male adolescents presented higher levels of SAP and DAP and were more affected by the problem of elevated arterial pressure (3,5,7) . However, there are authors who have not observed any association between arterial pressure and gender among children and adolescents (14)(15) .…”

“…It is believed that this discrepancy lies in the fact that they were also based on a single evaluation of arterial pressure. However, authors of a study in which measurements were performed over six visits that occurred during one year, found that the SAP and DAP of children and adolescents decreased throughout the evaluations (5).…”

“…Most of these studies emphasize the linearity between the weight and vital signs, noting an increased risk for hypertension in the order of five to six times. In addition to BMI, other anthropometric measurements important in the prediction of risk of being overweight and, consequently, elevated arterial pressure would be waist-hip ratio and skinfold thickness (3,5,7,14,17) . In obese adolescents, the SAP may increase by 10mmHg and DAP by 4mmHg (18) .…”

“…Although altered levels of arterial pressure do not necessarily determine a diagnosis of arterial hypertension, the fact can point to a risk of developing this cardiovascular problem in adulthood, even with mild pressure changes (4) . For children with this problem, for example, the chances of them being a hypertensive adult are 2.4 times greater in relation to normotensive individuals (5) .…”

Objective: To identify the blood pressure of adolescents in private schools in the city of Fortaleza-CE. Methods: This is a cross-sectional and quantitative study in which 794 adolescents were surveyed -between 12 and 17 years of age -from 14 private schools of that city, in the period from March to September 2007. It was used a questionnaire that contemplated the following characteristics: socio-demographic, blood pressure, body mass index (BMI), physical activity and capillary glucose. Results: It was found that 19.7% of young people had high blood pressure. The male participants had systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) higher than females (p=0.0001). The investigation found higher values of SBP and DBP in those who were overweight (p=0.0001). Conclusion: The blood pressure was influenced mainly by gender and BMI Keywords: Blood pressure; Adolescent; School health RESUMO Objetivo: Identificar a pressão arterial de adolescentes de escolas particulares da cidade de Fortaleza-CE. Métodos: Estudo do tipo quantitativo com delineamento transversal no qual foram investigados 794 adolescentes, entre 12-17 anos de idade de 14 escolas privadas dessa cidade no período de março a setembro de 2007, mediante aplicação de um formulário que abrangeu o registro das características sóciodemográficas, pressão arterial, Índice de Massa Corporal (IMC), prática de atividade física e glicemia capilar. Resultados: Verificou-se que 19,7% dos jovens apresentavam pressão arterial elevada. Os adolescentes do sexo masculino apresentaram pressão arteial sistólica (PAS) e pressão arterial diastólica (PAD) maiores do que a do sexo feminino (p=0,0001). A pesquisa constatou valores maiores de PAS e PAD naqueles com excesso de peso (p=0,0001). Conclusão: A pressão arterial foi influenciada sobretudo pelo sexo e IMC.

BackgroundAdolescence is a transition stage between childhood and adulthood and is an important phase for the acquisition of future lifestyles, including the practice of physical activity (PA). The prevalence of sedentary lifestyle in adolescents is often high, creating the need for studies addressing the practice of PA and its associated factors for a better understanding of the phenomenon and possible interventions that would encourage positive changes.MethodsCross-sectional study of a representative sample of students aged 14–18 years enrolled in both public and private schools of a large Brazilian city to determine the level of physical activity (PA) and its associated factors. Sedentary lifestyle was measured by applying the International Physical Activity Questionnaire. The independent variables were gender, age, race, tobacco use and alcohol consumption in the past 30 days, socioeconomic status, body mass index, waist circumference and blood pressure. The crude prevalence ratio was used as a measure of association and was estimated from a Poisson regression.ResultsThe sample consisted of 862 adolescents with a mean age of 15.4 ± 1.1 years. Females were predominant (52.8%), and the age between 14 and 15 years was the most frequent (52.2%). The majority of the group reported themselves as Caucasians (51.2%), belonging to socioeconomic class C (52.5%) and were attending to public schools (69.1%). The prevalence of sedentary lifestyle was 66.8% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 63.5–69.9), where values of 65.4% and 69.9% were observed among students from public and private schools, respectively (p = 0.196). Sedentary lifestyle was more frequent in females (78.0% vs 54.3%; p < 0.001). The factor directly associated with sedentary lifestyle was female gender both in public and private schools and the only independent variable related to sedentarism was also female gender.ConclusionThe prevalence of sedentary lifestyle was extremely high in the population of adolescents studied both in public and private schools. Female sex was directly associated with sedentary lifestyle.
