Implication

May inform BP screening in Chinese children; leaves open prospective validation of weight-based percentiles for outcomes.

Structured PICO

P
Population
14,842 Hong Kong Chinese schoolchildren aged 6-18 years randomly selected from 36 schools in the 18 Hong Kong districts
I
Intervention
Oscillometric blood pressure measurement using a validated device (Datascope Accutorr Plus) and anthropometric measurements
O
Outcome
Reference blood pressure standards (percentiles for systolic and diastolic BP by sex, age, height, and weight)surrogate

This study establishes oscillometrically measured blood pressure reference standards for Chinese children and identifies weight as the strongest anthropometric correlate of blood pressure.
