Background: The measurement of blood pressure is an important component of routine Pediatric physical examination. Children with higher levels of blood pressure tend to maintain higher blood pressure levels in adulthood in comparison to their peer group. The aims and objectives of this study were to define the normal pattern of blood pressure and prevalence of hypertension in urban school children between the age group of 5-15 years and to evaluate relationship of blood pressure with variables such as age, sex, height, weight and BMI in Amalapuram, Andhra Pradesh.Methods: This was a prospective cross-sectional observational study conducted from July 2016 to December 2018 in Department of Pediatrics, KIMS Amalapuram.Results: The overall prevalence of hypertension in the present study was 3.2%. Of these 16 children 11 were males amounting to 4.41% of total number of males and 5 were females amounting to 1.99% of total number of females. The prevalence of hypertension was more in the males. It was observed that there is not much increase in mean blood pressure up to 130 cms (both in males and females) and increased significantly and gradually in children above 130 cms of height. Blood pressure increases gradually and in a proportionate manner with increase in weight and BMI.Conclusions: Blood pressure is an important vital sign which reflects the integrity of the cardiovascular system, renal, endocrinal system and other systems in the body. Blood pressure of an individual varies with age, sex, height, weight and BMI. It also has a strong correlation with family history of hypertension. Thus, concluded that hypertension has its roots in childhood and early adolescence.

Background: Hypertension is considered as a major health issue in developed as well as developing countries and its possible origin during childhood prompts pediatricians to routinely include measurement of blood pressure (BP) as an integral part of pediatric physical examination. The objectives of the study were to evaluate the normal range of blood pressure in adolescent school going students of 12-16 years, prevalence of hypertension and relationship of BP with variables like age, body mass index (BMI), socioeconomic status and family history of hypertension.Methods: A cross sectional study was undertaken for a period of one year in adolescent school children in age groups between 12-16 years. Detailed clinical examination was done in 1060 adolescent school children and BP was recorded in right upper limb and correlation of BP with BMI, family history of hypertension and diabetes were studied.Results: Mean systolic and diastolic pressure showed linear relationship with age. There was a highly statistically significant difference between mean systolic and diastolic blood pressure between lower and middle socio-economic class. Prevalence of obesity in our study was 1.13%, overweight was 7.83%. Prevalence of hypertension in obese children was 33.33% and in overweight children 18.07%. Family history of hypertension and diabetes carry a significant correlation with elevated systolic and diastolic blood pressure in adolescents.Conclusions: This study revealed that socio economic factors play a significant role in determining the blood pressure of the individual. Children of middle class have significantly elevated mean systolic pressure and mean diastolic pressure than low socio-economic groups.

Abstract: Hypertension is a condition where the systolic blood pressure is >140mmHg and the diastolic blood pressure is >90mmHg measured by a sphygmomanometer. The measurements were performed at least 2 times in a span of one week. Uncontrolled hypertension can cause damage to the arteries, damage to the heart, damage to the brain, kidneys and eyes, as well as accelerating the onset of chronic cardiovascular diseases. Hypertension in pregnancy could affect such things as reduced blood flow to the placenta, fetal growth restriction, premature birth, fetal death, and increased risk of cardiovascular disease. One of the factors that affect the risk of hypertension is a family history of hypertension.The study aimed to see whether there is a relationship between a family history of hypertension and hypertension in pregnancy. The data were collected using cross-sectional method. This cross-sectional study was conducted in September-November 2016, in Bahu Public Health Center, Ranotana Public Health Center, Tuminting Public Health Center, Kombos Public Health Center, and Paniki Public Health Center. The sample were taken with total sampling method, with the total number of respondents that are willing around 144 respondent. Based on the research, from 50 respondent with a family history of hypertension, 1 respondent (2%) belong to the category of stage 1 hypertension, 20 respondent (40%) belong to the category of pre-hypertension and 29 respondents (58%) were normal. Conclusion: Based on the results, it can be deduced that a family history of hypertension mostly did not affect the incidence of hypertension in pregnant woman.Keywords: hypertension, maternal hypertension, family history of hypertension  Abstrak: Hipertensi merupakan keadaan dimana tekanan darah sistolik >140mmHg dan tekanan darah diastolik >90mmHg yang diukur dengan sphygmomanometer. Pengukuran dilakukan minimal 2 kali dalam rentang waktu 1 minggu. Hipertensi yang tidak terkontrol dapat menyebabkan kerusakan pada pembuluh darah arteri, kerusakan pada jantung, kerusakan pada otak, ginjal dan mata, serta mempercepat terjadinya penyakit kardiovaskular yang kronis. Hipertensi pada wanita hamil dapat mempengaruhi beberapa hal seperti aliran darah ke plasenta berkurang, pertumbuhan janin terhambat, kelahiran prematur, bayi meninggal dalam kandungan, dan meningkatnya risiko terkena penyakit kardiovaskular. Salah satu faktor rikiko yang mempengaruhi hipertensi adalah riwayat hipertensi pada keluarga. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat apakah ada hubungan antara riwayat hipertensi pada keluarga dan hipertensi pada kehamilan. Pengambilan data dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode cross-sectional. Penelitian cross-sectional ini dilakukan pada bulan September-November 2016 di Puskesmas Bahu, Puskesmas Ranotana, Puskesmas Tuminting, Puskesmas Kombos dan Puskesmas Paniki. Pengambilan sampel dilakukan berdasarkan dengan metode total sampling dengan jumlah responden yang bersedia sebanyak 144 orang. Berdasarkan penelitian didapatkan dari 50 responden dengan riwayat hipertensi pada keluarga 1 responden (2%) masuk ke dalam kategori hipertensi stadium 1, 20 responden (40%) masuk ke dalam kategori pre-hipertensi dan 29 responden (58%) yang normal. Simpulan: Berdasarkan hasil tersebut, dapat ditarik kesimpulan bahwa riwayat hipertensi pada keluarga sebagian besar tidak mempengaruhi angka kejadian hipertensi pada ibu hamilKata kunci: hipertensi, hipertensi kehamilan, riwayat hipertensi pada keluarga

The aim of this study was to understand the distribution of various somatotype components and determine the age- and sex-related variations of the somatotype among Sunni Muslim population of Uttar Pradesh, India. The study population consisted of 214 individuals (100 males and 114 females), belonging to the age group of 18–73 years. All somatometric measurements were taken according to the protocol of the International Society for the Advancement of Kinanthropometry (ISAK). Anthropometric somatotyping was done using Heath and Carter method. Somatotype dispersion distances (SDD), mean somatotype dispersion (SDM), and standard deviation of somatotype dispersion distance (DSD) were calculated. Somatochart was also plotted for the body physique of the studied population. The results showed that mean somatotype of males is balanced endomorph (4.2–3.2–3.1), while that of females is mesomorphic endomorph (6.6–3.7–1.2). Endomorphy and mesomorphy increased with age up to 55 years and then decreased thereafter; however, ectomorphy showed the opposite trend in both the sexes. The findings of the study indicate that males and females of Sunni Muslim population are predominantly endomorphic.

Family History Of Hypertension

Despite general belief that hypertension is a disease of adulthood, children and adolescents can also suffer from the condition and may remain unnoticed because of lack of routine measurement of blood pressure. Hypertension in children in Bangladesh has not been well studied. Hence a study was conducted among 6-16 year-old school children of Dhaka city to find out the pattern of blood pressure (BP), prevalence of hypertension and its risk factors in this age group.In this cross sectional study, 1995 apparently healthy children of specified age group were systematically sampled from 6 purposively selected schools in Dhaka city. Their BP were measured methodically under ideal situation. On the same day, their anthropometry were also done by taking height and weight. All of them were given a questionnaire to take home for filling up the family history of hypertension, education, occupation and monthly income of their parents. Those who had BP above 95th centile on three occasions with an interval of two weeks, were diagnosed as hypertensive.Among the 1995 children, male female ratio was 1:1. There were 127-238 children in each single-year age category. Most of their fathers were service holders with 10-14 years of education. Mean systolic BP (SBP) ranged from 88.6 to 113.5 mm Hg, and mean diastolic BP (DBP) from 55.3 to 74.2 mm Hg. Girls had both SBP and DBP more than boys of same age category.Both SBP and DPB have linear relationship with age. There was significant increment in both the systolic and diastolic BP among the female children from 9 to 10 years of age. Similar sudden increment of only systolic blood pressure was seen from 13 to 14 year old male children.This study showed that prevalence of hypertension in school going children of Dhaka city was 0.55% and there was a significant relationship of hypertension with the obesity and family history of hypertension. Among the 11 hypertensive children, 9 (81.8%) had either of the two risk factors, odds ratio (95% CI) being 15.37 (3.31 - 71.37). Key words: Hypertension; school going children.

Background: Hypertension once considered a problem of adults only in the high income countries, now dramatically is on the rise in low and middle income countries. An established predictor of adult hypertension and organ damage is childhood hypertension. Thus for the control, effective treatment and prevention of its complications, early diagnosis of hypertension in adolescents in an important strategy. The objective was to study the blood pressure profile and its socio-demographic determinants among school going adolescents in urban Agra.Methods: A cross-sectional survey was done among 534 adolescent in age group of 13-18 years studying in various government and private schools in urban Agra. Socio demographic details, anthropometric measurements and family history of hypertension were obtained. Also the dietary habits, physical activity, mode of transport to school were included in the present study. Blood pressure was measured at 0 and 30 minutes and average of two readings was taken as the final reading of that individual.Results: It was found that 49.82% of the study subjects had above normal blood pressure and among them 21.16% were hypertensive and 28.66% had pre-hypertension. Higher blood pressure showed a statistically significant (p<0.05) association with gender, age, dietary habits, physical activity, body mass index, and parental history of hypertension.Conclusions: Hypertension among the adolescent age group was very high. Prevalence of high blood pressure significantly associated with age, gender, family history of hypertension, physical activity, type of school and dietary habits.

Background: Hypertension is one of the commonest health related risk factor in India, with the largest contribution to burden of disease and mortality. Awareness of hypertension in India is low while appropriate treatment and control among those with hypertension is even lower. This mainly effects the middle age adult populations especially in urban slum area are more vulnerable for hypertension as they are so busy with their job responsibilities, family commitments, economic stress etc. If hypertension is detected early it is possible to minimize the risk of heart attack, heart failure, and stroke and kidney failure. An estimated 18 per cent of men and 13 per cent of women with high blood pressure are not receiving treatment that could protect them from an early death. So it is necessary to study the prevalence of hypertension in adult population of 40 to 60 years in an urban slum and to study the socio- demographic profile of this population.Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out in the field practice area of the T. N. Medical College, Mumbai during the period of July 2015 to June 2016. A total 350 participants in the age group of 40 to 60 years using systematic sampling technique from urban slum area were interviewed and examined. A pre-tested interview tool was used to collect necessary information. Blood pressure <120/80 mmHg (normal), 120/80 to 139/89 mmHg (pre hypertension) and >140/90 mmHg (hypertension).Results: Out of the 350 participants, 148 (42.3%) participants had normal blood pressure and 81 (23.1%) participants had pre-hypertension, 79 (22.6%) participants had stage I hypertension and 42 (12.0%) participants had stage II hypertension.Conclusions: Prevalence of hypertension and pre-hypertension was 34.5% and 23.1% respectively. Various factors like gender, increasing age, low physical activity (exercise), high BMI, history of addiction, history of extra salt intake and family history of hypertension was associated with hypertension.
