Key result
Blood pressure tracking from childhood to adulthood over 24 years showed high stability, with unadjusted tracking coefficients for systolic blood pressure of 0.81 in men and 0.72 in women.
Cohort (n=266)
No
Effect estimate: Tracking coefficient 0.81 (95% CI 0.52-1.11)
p-value: p=<0.001
Blood pressure tracks stably from childhood to adulthood over a 24-year period, emphasizing the potential importance of early life blood pressure trajectories.

Supports early BP monitoring in children; extends observational tracking data but leaves interventional effects open.
Lee et al. (2014) conducted a cohort in Blood Pressure Tracking (n=266). Observation was evaluated on Tracking coefficient for systolic blood pressure in men (Tracking coefficient 0.81, 95% CI 0.52-1.11, p=<0.001). Blood pressure tracking from childhood to adulthood over 24 years showed high stability, with unadjusted tracking coefficients for systolic blood pressure of 0.81 in men and 0.72 in women.
