“…There were no statistically significant differences in BP values between boys and girls, similarly to the findings published by Ferreira and Aydós, 25 in 2010, who did not find significant differences in pressure levels between genders either.…”

“…25,26 Nevertheless, the HBP range found in our study was within the variation between 2 and 13% described by Gomes and Alves 27 in 2009, in their study with high school students in the State of Pernambuco, Brazil. However, HBP prevalence proved to be slightly below 16.6% when using the first measurement, as demonstrated by Rezende et al in 2003 among schoolchildren aged 7-14 years in Barbacena, in the state of Minas Gerais.…”

Introduction: Hypertension is a major public health problem in contemporary times and it has high prevalence throughout the world. Objective: To investigate the situation of Systemic Arterial Hypertension in schoolchildren aged 6 to 10 years in Divinópolis/MG-Brazil and associated factors.Method: This is a cross-sectional, epidemiological, descriptive and analytical study, whose population was children aged 6 to 10 years enrolled in public schools in Divinópolis-MG-Brazil. Data collection was conducted from October 2014 to May 2015. Multivariate linear regressions were used to test associations between blood pressure, socioeconomic, anthropometric, dietary and physical activity. Results:The prevalence of hypertension was 15.2% in a sample of 284 children and mean values of systolic blood pressure of 101.7 (±13.2) mmHg and diastolic blood pressure of 66.0 (±11.2) mmHg. The body fat percentage showed significant differences between the genders, with 24.2 and 26.2%, respectively for boys and girls. Significant associations were made between blood pressure levels, body weight, body mass index, waist circumference, body fat percentage, consumption of yogurt, beef /chicken, beans, pizza, sandwich and some behaviors variables. Conclusion:The presented data show important aspects of school profile in the age range 6-10 years, especially related to the behavior of blood pressure.

“…The prevalence of high BP found here was much higher that that found in a similar study carried out by Ferreira and Aydos (2010) 13 , which was 21.7% in obese children between 7 and 14 years of age followed at a specialized service of the Regional Hospital of Mato Grosso do Sul. Similar results were observed in a study conducted in Nigeria, whose prevalence of high BP was 37.2% in obese adolescents 15 .…”

“…Due to the design of this study, where there was no longitudinal follow-up of patients, it is not possible to state that high BP increased with aging; however, higher prevalence was observed in the higher age group. This can be due to the presence of significantly higher body fat in these subjects compared to younger age groups, as well to the increased exposure time to excessive fatty tissue 13 .…”

Objective: to evaluate the prevalence of high blood pressure in fat or overweight children and adolescents and its associated factors. Methods: Cross-sectional study including 200 children and adolescents between two and 18 years old. It was measured the abdominal circumference, blood pressure, weight and height. The systolic and diastolic blood pressure were considered high when equal or higher than 90th percentile. The value of the blood pressure in the 25th, 50th and 75 th percentiles were described according to age groups, sex, nutritional state and abdominal circumference. To check the association between high blood pressure and clinical variables it was used qui-square tests and a significant level of 5%. Results: The majority of children and adolescents (70.5 %) had high blood pressure: 6% showed an increase only in the systolic blood pressure, 33% in diastolic blood pressure and 31.5 % in both. Systolic blood pressure values were higher observed in individuals with severe obesity and increased waist circumference, as well as those of the male sex and in the group of adolescents. Among those who had high blood pressure, the normal maximum limit of the systolic blood pressure was observed in the 50th percentile and for the diastolic in the 75 th percentile. The high systolic blood pressure was associated with adolescents with severe obesity. Conclusion: The high prevalence of high blood pressure observed in this study indicates the need to implement policies and actions oriented towards the prevention and control of obesity and its comorbidities, as the case of high blood pressure.
