“…Though we could not find a study which looked into the correlation of MAP and weight, a study done by Kamatham Madhusoodhanan et al showed a linear relation between systolo-diastolic BP and weight. 7 A weak positive correlation was obtained in our data for MAP and height (r-0.192) .A study by Ikram et al done over 60,000 children also showed a positive correlation of MAP and height. 3 But when compared to our data, the children in their study had a lower MAP for corresponding height centiles.…”

Background: Objective of the study was to find out the average MAP among children aged between 3-10 years based on age, gender and height centiles and to study the correlation of MAP with weight, height and BMI. Methods: A total of 502 children were included in the study. First the demographic details of the children was collected. Then anthropometric parameters were measured. Systolic BP, Diastolic BP and MAP were recorded. SPSS version 20 was used for statistical analysis. Results: MAP has got a positive correlation with weight, height and BMI. Conclusions: The mean MAP of male children, 3-4 years 75±9 mmHg, 5-6 years 75±8 mmHg, 7-8 years 76±7 mmHg, 9-10 years, 79±11 mmHg. The mean MAP of female children, 3-4 years 77±7 mmHg, 5-6 years 77±8 mmHg, 7-8 years 78±9 mmHg, 9-10 years, 79±8 mmHg. MAP was found to be highly correlated with weight, height and BMI.
