Cohort

Follow-up

4 years

Overview

Initial BP and BMI trends may inform adolescent monitoring; leaves open whether pubertal timing modifies BP tracking.

Structured PICO

Does the timing of pubertal maturation affect blood pressure tracking and determinants in adolescents?

P
Population
1,252 adolescents
I
Intervention
Early pubertal maturation (pubic hair growth in males and menses onset in females before age 12)
C
Comparator
Late pubertal maturation (after age 12)
O
Outcome
Blood pressure (SBP and DBP) tracking and changes over timesurrogate

Initial blood pressure and BMI changes are major predictors of blood pressure tracking in adolescents, with early pubertal maturation influencing blood pressure determinants.
