Special Approach

The value of blood pressure in children aged one to 12 years is based on the normative distribution of blood pressure in healthy children of normal body weight and is interpreted on the basis of gender, age, and height of the child. Normal values are considered to be lower than the 90th percentile, elevated blood pressure is considered to be valued between the 90th and 95th percentile, and high blood pressure or hypertension are considered to be all values above the 95th percentile. Due to the need for specialized cuffs of different sizes and the complexity of interpreting blood pressure values, it is necessary to measure blood pressure in children with standardized procedures in pediatric clinics. Children and adolescents with elevated blood pressure and hypertension should change their lifestyle, which includes: weight loss, regular physical activity, a special approach to diet, and stress reduction. The duration, frequency, and/or intensity of physical activity can be increased through increased spontaneous physical activity, organized physical exercise programs, or participation in sport. It is important to provide children and adolescents with elevated blood pressure and hypertension with equal opportunities and incentives to participate in physical activities that give them pleasure, offer diversity and that are appropriate for their age and abilities.

Abstract Background Copper is an essential trace metal with potential interest for cardiovascular effects. Few studies have explored the association between copper and blood pressure in children and adolescents. Method We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of 1242 children and adolescents aged 8–17 years who participated in the 2011 to 2016 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Using 2017 American Academy of Pediatrics guidelines, elevated blood pressure (EBP) was defined as a mean systolic and/or diastolic blood pressure (BP) ≥ 90th percentile for sex, age, and height for children aged 1–12 years and systolic BP ≥ 120 mmHg or diastolic BP ≥ 80 mmHg for adolescent age 13–17 years. Mean serum copper was 114.17 μg/dL. Results After multiple adjustments, dose–response analyses revealed that EBP was associated with progressively higher serum copper concentrations in a nonlinear trend. In comparison with the lowest quartile of serum copper concentrations, the adjusted odds of EBP for the highest quartile was 5.26 (95% confidence interval, 2.76–10.03). Conclusion Our results suggested that high serum copper concentrations were significantly associated with EBP in US children and adolescents.
