| Abstract
Introduction: Despite great gains in diagnosis, treatment and control of blood pressure, systemic hypertention is still a main cause of cardiovascular and renal diseases. Considering the role of blood pressur in lower years of life in causing hypertention and it`s complications in a dulthood and loss of knowledge about different populations in different years, it seems necessary to care about BP. variations in childhood.
Meterials & Methods: This study was carried out on 1057 children including an equal number of males and females at the age of 7-11 years and measured titer BP from right humorous in two mediums at a relaxed and stressless condition. The first cortocof sound determined the systolic BP and the fourth cortocof sound determined the diastolic BP.
Findings: The mean systolic BP of the students was 10.3 mmHg and the mean diastolic BP was 69.8 mmHg. 13% of children had systolic hypertension over 140 mmHg and prevalence of diastole BP over 90 mmHg equaled 1.5%.
Incidence of hypertonic in female was 9.1% and in males 8.7%. In general, the systolic BP level in female was in average 5-10 mmHg more than that of the males.
Conclusion: An strong and positive Association was proved between the age and blood pressure in the students of 7-10 years old. Diastolic & systolic pressures increases with the increase of weight and height of children. There fore, conducting a screening diagnostic plan, probable cases of abnormal boold pressure at childhood can be discovered and treated. |
