Zuhal Gündoğdu (2008) conducted a cross-sectional in Pediatric obesity and blood pressure (n=1,899). Higher BMI category (overweight or obese) vs. Normal weight (BMI < 85th percentile) was evaluated on Systolic and diastolic blood pressure (p=<0.001). Higher body mass index was significantly associated with elevated systolic and diastolic blood pressure in both boys and girls aged 6 to 14 years (P < 0.001).
