The study provides LMS reference tables for calculating appropriate SDS values for ABPM in children, demonstrating different anthropometric correlates for systolic versus diastolic blood pressure.
Provides basis for anthropometric-adjusted pediatric ABPM references; leaves open outcome-based validation.
The use of LMS reference tables permits calculation of appropriate SDS values for ABPM in children. Whereas systolic 24-h BP is independently correlated with age, relative height and obesity, diastolic values are almost independent of age and relative height, and weakly associated with relative obesity.
