Background: Childhood hypertension is one of the rising public health problems. Childhood hypertension may lead to significant morbidity and mortality. The objective of the study was to find the prevalence of childhood hypertension and pre-hypertension in school going children of Bangalore Rural District.Methods: A cross sectional study conducted between July 2015 to January 2016 in Bangalore Rural District. Total of 1024 school children aged between 6 to 16 years were examined. Both private and government school children were examined during the study. Anthropometric measurements like Weight, Height, BMI and Blood Pressure were measured for each child. Then children were categorized as hypertensive or pre-hypertensive based on Fourth Task force report and into obese or overweight based on WHO BMI charts.Results: Prevalence of hypertension was 2.7% and pre-hypertension is 3.2%. In government school children 1.7% were hypertensive and 0.8% were pre-hypertensive. In private school children 3.5% were hypertensive and 5.1% were pre-hypertensive. Among children with hypertension 39% children were obese and 50% were overweight.Conclusions: Childhood hypertension is prevalent in both government and private schools, with high prevalence in private schools. Blood pressure measurement should be made mandatory in all school children.

Dental Arch Width

Aim: Objectives: To analyze variations in dental arch width in relation to oral habits.   Materials and Methods : Cross sectional  study was carried out Department of Orthodontics & Dentofacial Orthopedics of Dhaka Dental College & Hospital, Dhaka with a total number of 600 primary school children of 3-6 years ages of Bangladeshi population. Results: This study was a cross sectional study conducted among the 600 children with 3-6 years old prima- ry school children of Bangladeshi population. According to present study, bottle feeding causes significant reduction in maxillary intercanine width and mouth breathers show significant reduction of both arches. Conclusion: It was observed that the children who had used a bottle had a significant reduction in maxillary intercanine width. Breathing through mouth appeared to be associated with a reduction in the size of both arches. This was more significant in the maxillary intercanine , mandibular  intercanine and mandibular molar widths. Therefore to prevent malocclusions, the public should be informed of the harm caused by certain oral habits, the benefits of breast-feeding, and the need to correct bad habits at early life.
