Overview

Supports early BP monitoring in adolescents; leaves open whether interventions modify tracking trajectories.

Structured PICO

Does initial blood pressure predict stable high blood pressure in adolescents over a 4-year follow-up?

P
Population
17,634 children aged 12-13 years screened, with a follow-up cohort of 3,323 (1,680 boys, 1,643 girls) comprising the upper 5% of SBP/DBP distribution and a 10% random sample of the remainder.
O
Outcome
Stable high blood pressure (tracking of SBP and DBP over 4 years)surrogate

Initial blood pressure readings and associated factors are significant predictors of stable high blood pressure in adolescents over a 4-year period.
