Key result
This is a study protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis; therefore, no clinical results or findings are available yet.
Why the study?
This review was planned as part of a doctoral project to develop a discrete event simulation model predicting how many adolescents may become hypertensive in adulthood.
What are the predictors in adolescence of high blood pressure in adulthood?
Systematic Review
What are the predictors in adolescence of high blood pressure in adulthood?
This protocol outlines a systematic review to evaluate risk factors in adolescents that predict the development of arterial hypertension in adulthood.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Protocol for ERICA-based hypertension prediction model; leaves open validation of simulation for adolescent prevention strategies.
This is a protocol of a review paper, and there is no abstract. This review is part of a doctoral project that aims to develop a discrete event simulation model to predict how many adolescents may become hypertensive in adulthood. We will use data from the Brazilian study of cardiovascular risks in adolescents, called ERICA (Portuguese acronym). This study may help promote adherence to disease prevention protocols.

Costa et al. (2021) conducted a systematic review in Arterial hypertension. Risk factors (e.g., overweight, physical inactivity, inadequate diet, salt and alcohol intake) vs. Absence of or lower levels of risk factors was evaluated on Occurrence of high blood pressure (HBP) in adulthood. This is a study protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis; therefore, no clinical results or findings are available yet.
