What is the prevalence of prehypertension and hypertension in children in a community-based pediatric practice?
What is the prevalence of prehypertension and hypertension in children in a community-based pediatric practice?
The prevalence of hypertension in children in community-based settings may be lower than previously estimated from school-based studies.
Suggests community-based prevalence may be lower than school estimates; leaves open optimal screening settings for pediatric hypertension.
The prevalence of hypertension in this community-based study is lower than previously reported from school-based studies. With the size and diversity of this cohort, these results suggest the prevalence of hypertension in children may actually be lower than previously reported.
