Supports age- and BMI-linked BP surveillance in children; leaves open drivers of the secular decline.
Observational (n=2,164)
p-value: p=<0.001
Blood pressure in school-aged children increases with age and BMI, is higher in boys, but showed an overall decreasing secular trend over a nine-year period.
Nicolas et al. (2025) conducted an observational in Pediatric blood pressure trends (n=2,164). Age, sex, and body mass index was evaluated on Systolic and diastolic blood pressure (p=<0.001). In 2,164 school-aged children, blood pressure significantly increased from 6th to 10th grade and correlated with BMI, while showing an overall negative secular trend over 9 years (P<0.001).
