Overview

Weight warrants attention in Argentine children's BP assessment; leaves open need for sex-specific percentiles pending longitudinal studies.

Key Points

To evaluate blood pressure levels and their normal distribution among children and adolescents in Cordoba, Argentina.
Evaluated blood pressure data from 280,584 children aged 5-15 years across urban, rural, mountain, and plains areas.
Recorded blood pressure using pediatric cuffs and sphygmomanometers by trained physicians.
Utilized statistical methods including Student's t test and stepwise regression analysis to establish relationships between BP and other factors.
Diastolic BP was greater in girls than boys aged 11-14 years.
Weight was the most influential factor affecting BP among those evaluated.
Systolic BP was lower in comparison with US Task Force study data.

Population

280,584 children and adolescents aged 5-15 years from Cordoba, Argentina, evaluated to determine normal blood pressure patterns and associated factors.

Outcome

Blood pressure (BP) and its distribution curve to determine the normal BP patternsurrogate

This large cross-sectional study establishes pediatric blood pressure percentiles for an Argentine population and highlights weight as the primary independent determinant of blood pressure in children.
