- Abstract : Objective: Evidence on normal range of home blood pressure (BP) in adolescents relies on only one European study. This study aims to investigate the normal range of home BP in a healthy non-European population of adolescents. Design and method: Cross-sectional study with a representative sample of secondary school students (12–17 years) from a Brazilian capital. Adolescents' heights were classified in percentiles according to age and gender. Height percentiles were divided in <=50th or >50th percentile. The home BP protocol included two day-time and two evening-time measurements over 6 days. Exams were considered valid with at least 12 measurements. Results: A total of 1024 adolescents were included, mean age 14.68 ± 1.61 years, predominantly female (52.4%), from public schools (68.4%) and non-white (51.3%). The 50th (midpoint of distribution) and the 95th percentile (upper normal limit) for systolic and diastolic home BP in adolescents are provided by gender, age and height percentiles. There was a marked increase in the estimated 95th percentile for systolic home BP with increasing age in males for both height percentiles examined (16 mmHg for <=50th percentile and 14.5mmHg for >50th percentile) and less so for diastolic home BP (1 mmHg and 5 mmHg, respectively). In females the 95th percentile increase with age was less significant for systolic and similar for diastolic BP when compared to males in the two height percentiles evaluated (6/2 mmHg for <=50thAbstract : Objective: Evidence on normal range of home blood pressure (BP) in adolescents relies on only one European study.

In females the 95th percentile increase with age was less significant for systolic and similar for diastolic BP when compared to males in the two height percentiles evaluated (6/2 mmHg for <=50th percentile and 4/4 mmHg for >50th percentile). Conclusions: Reference values for home BP by height percentiles for age and sex in a non-European population of adolescents are provided. … (more)
