Key result
Abnormal blood pressure in adolescence was associated with significantly higher systolic blood pressure (130.89 vs 115.94 mmHg), BMI, and insulin resistance in young adulthood.
Why the study?
Does abnormal blood pressure in adolescence predict worse anthropometric, metabolic, and inflammatory profiles in young adulthood?
Population
116 individuals from the Rio de Janeiro study, assessed at adolescence and young adulthood
Comparison
Abnormal blood pressure at adolescence vs Normal blood pressure at adolescence
Design
Cohort
Follow-up
17.76 ± 1.63 years

Adolescent BP abnormalities may flag later cardiometabolic risk; leaves open whether early intervention modifies trajectories in prospective trials.

Does abnormal blood pressure in adolescence predict worse anthropometric, metabolic, and inflammatory profiles in young adulthood?
Absolute Event Rate: 130.89% vs 115.94%
p-value: p=<0.001
Abnormal blood pressure in adolescence is associated with worse anthropometric and metabolic profiles, but not inflammatory variables, in young adulthood.
Campana et al. (2013) conducted a cohort in Cardiovascular risk factors (n=116). Abnormal blood pressure in adolescence vs. Normal blood pressure in adolescence was evaluated on Systolic blood pressure at young adulthood (A2) (p=<0.001). Abnormal blood pressure in adolescence was associated with significantly higher systolic blood pressure (130.89 vs 115.94 mmHg), BMI, and insulin resistance in young adulthood.
