Abstract

Aim: To examine the effect of excess body weight on the blood pressure (BP) of children aged 6-12 years.

Methods: This was a prospective longitudinal study conducted with 187 children at the participants' home in southern Brazil. BP was measured using the auscultatory method. Generalized linear mixed models, including fixed and random effects and adjusted for important covariates, were used to estimate the relative risk (RR) of excess body weight on the incidence of high BP in children throughout the three follow-ups of the study (at ages 6, 9, and 12 years).

Results: The prevalence of high BP increased from 25.0 to 66.7% in children with excess body weight from 6 to 12 years of age. For every 1 kg/m 2 increase in the child's BMI, there was an 8% increase (RR = 1.08, 95% confidence interval: 1.00-1.16, P = 0.042) in the risk of the child having high BP from 6 to 12 years of age, even after adjusting for prepregnancy BMI.

Conclusion: Excessive BMI in children increased the risk of high BP in Brazilian children from 6 to 12 years of age. Special attention must be paid to children under 12 years of age with excess body weight to mitigate the onset of cardiovascular diseases throughout life.

6至12岁儿童体重状况与高血压：PREDI队列研究结果

目的：探讨超重对6 ~ 12岁儿童血压的影响。方法：这是一项前瞻性纵向研究，在巴西南部的参与者家中进行了187名儿童。采用听诊法测血压。采用广义线性混合模型，包括固定效应和随机效应，并对重要协变量进行调整，以估计在研究的三个随访期间（6岁、9岁和12岁），超重对儿童高血压发病率的相对风险（RR）。结果：超重儿童6 ~ 12岁高血压患病率由25.0%上升至66.7%。儿童BMI每增加1 kg/m2，即使在调整孕前BMI后，6 - 12岁儿童血压升高的风险也会增加8% （RR = 1.08, 95%可信区间：1.00-1.16,P = 0.042）。结论：儿童BMI过高会增加6 - 12岁巴西儿童高血压的风险。必须特别注意体重过重的12岁以下儿童，以减轻一生中心血管疾病的发病。

期刊介绍： Blood Pressure Monitoring is devoted to original research in blood pressure measurement and blood pressure variability. It includes device technology, analytical methodology of blood pressure over time and its variability, clinical trials - including, but not limited to, pharmacology - involving blood pressure monitoring, blood pressure reactivity, patient evaluation, and outcomes and effectiveness research. This innovative journal contains papers dealing with all aspects of manual, automated, and ambulatory monitoring. Basic and clinical science papers are considered although the emphasis is on clinical medicine. Submitted articles undergo a preliminary review by the editor. Some articles may be returned to authors without further consideration. Those being considered for publication will undergo further assessment and peer-review by the editors and those invited to do so from a reviewer pool.
