Overview

Supports monitoring BMI deviations for BP risk in adolescent females; extends longitudinal data but leaves causal inference open for intervention trials.

Structured PICO

How do body mass index and maturational age affect serial changes in blood pressure from childhood into young adulthood in females?

P
Population
198 white females, ages 8–22 years, enrolled in the Fels Longitudinal Study
O
Outcome
Patterns of change from childhood to young adulthood in body mass index (BMI), systolic blood pressure (SBP), and diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and effects of elevated BMI values on changes in blood pressuressurrogate

Elevated BMI during childhood and adolescence is associated with increased systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and early elevated BP predicts future risk of elevated BP in young adulthood.
