“…A weak correlation was found between the abdominal/total obesity indicators and the systolic and diastolic blood pressure. In a study conducted among schoolchildren in Santa Cruz do Sul, Rio Grande do Sul, and published two years ago, Burgos et al 15 concluded that a growing number of children and adolescents are reaching the threshold, or are hypertensive, proportionally to increases in the body mass index classification. These authors also detected a weak correlation between body mass index and blood pressure (both systolic and diastolic).…”

“…Perhaps, these characteristics and behaviors are key to understanding the early development of HBP in some populations. In addition, the high frequency of overweight was also higher than the average found in Brazilian students [26][27][28], particularly among females, although the majority of students were classified as physically active and had a regular eating behavior. Despite the lack of a relationship between blood pressure and the level of physical activity or eating behavior alone, there was an association between HBP and BMI, and between DBP and BMI with poor eating behavior.…”

“…7,21 In a study by Bin Chen et al among preschool children, systolic BP and diastolic BP were significantly higher in obese children than that in normal weight children in both sexes (p<0.001). Overweight children had significantly higher systolic and diastolic BP than normal weight children in boys (p<0.01).…”
