Does parental history of high blood pressure affect the level and change of blood pressure in offspring from childhood to early adulthood?

No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Offspring BP differences by parental risk emerge by early adulthood; extends longitudinal observations on familial aggregation but leaves open preventive implications.
Hooft et al. (1988) studied this question.
