What are the relationships between blood pressure and other characteristics such as age, adiposity, and pulse rate in children aged 6-11 years?
In children aged 6-11 years, blood pressure is significantly related to growth, adiposity, and hemodynamic manifestations of cardiac output.
Harlan et al. (1979) conducted a cross-sectional in Blood pressure in childhood. Chronological and skeletal age, adiposity, anthropometric measurements, pulse rate, and systolic murmurs was evaluated on Blood pressure. Blood pressure in children aged 6-11 years was significantly related to chronological and skeletal age, adiposity, pulse rate, and systolic murmurs.
