Abstract

In the context of the Second National Study of Human Growth and Development of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela (SENACREDH), blood pressure was evaluated in 4 017 individuals 6.00 to 19.99 years-old from Carabobo, Aragua, Miranda, Vargas states and Capital District. They represented, for the weighted data, 1 340 738 pop; 54.89.% males. Prevalence of isolated systolic BP values ≥P90 was 4.36 % being significantly higher in males (4.89 %) than in females (3.7 %) (P< 0.05). Alterations in blood pressure values were estimated in a proportion close to 5 % of pediatric population in the states assessed. This indicates an estimation of approximately 67 000 children and adolescents from that geographical region with values in range of prehypertension and hypertension. Those findings should lead to an increase in the control and prevention strategies for high blood pressure in those pediatric populations.
