Distribution of 24-h ambulatory blood pressure in children: normalized reference values and role of body dimensions

Structured PICO

Population

children

Outcome

24-h ambulatory blood pressure (ABPM) standard deviation score (SDS) valuessurrogate

The study provides LMS reference tables for calculating appropriate SDS values for ABPM in children, demonstrating different anthropometric correlates for systolic versus diastolic blood pressure.

Abstract

The use of LMS reference tables permits calculation of appropriate SDS values for ABPM in children. Whereas systolic 24-h BP is independently correlated with age, relative height and obesity, diastolic values are almost independent of age and relative height, and weakly associated with relative obesity.
