Background: The increase in obesity cases and the lack of screening and diagnosis of childhood hypertension highlight the need to examine these comorbidities in children. Objectives: To investigate the relationships between systemic arterial hypertension (SAH) and childhood obesity (CO) in pediatrics and correlate the obesity level, abdominal circumference (AC), family history, and physical activity (PA) variables. Methods: This cross-sectional study assessed age, sex, height, weight, body mass index (BMI), AC, family history, PA, CO, and blood pressure (BP) percentiles. ...
