Circadian BP rhythm maturation during puberty appears blunted in orthostatic dysregulation and steroid use; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
How do circadian rhythms of blood pressure differ between normal children, children with orthostatic dysregulation, and children taking prednisolone?
Circadian blood pressure rhythms in children mature during puberty and are altered by conditions such as orthostatic dysregulation and steroid therapy.
Watanabe et al. (1994) studied this question.
