High blood pressure in school children: prevalence and risk factors.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of high blood pressure (HBP) and associated risk factors in school children 8 to 13 years of age. METHODS:Elementary school children (n = 1,066) were examined. Associations between HBP, body mass index (BMI), gender, ethnicity, and acanthosis nigricans (AN) were investigated using a school based cross-sectional study. Blood pressure was measured and the 95th percentile was used to determine HBP. Comparisons between children with and without HBP were utilized. The crude and multiple logistic regression adjusted odds ratios were used as measures of association. RESULTS:Females, Hispanics, overweight children, and children with AN had an increased likelihood of HBP. Overweight children (BMI > or = 85th percentile) and those with AN were at least twice as likely to present with HBP after controlling for confounding factors. CONCLUSION:Twenty one percent of school children had HBP, especially the prevalence was higher among the overweight and Hispanic group. The association identified here can be used as independent markers for increased likelihood of HBP in children.

  • Suture restriction of the temporal bone as a risk factor for acute otitis media in children: cohort study.

    abstract:BACKGROUND:Eustachian tube (ET) dysfunction plays an important role in the pathogenesis of acute otitis media (AOM). Unfortunately, there is a lack of knowledge about the exact role of the ET's bony support, the temporal bone, on occurrence of AOM. This study investigates whether severe suture restriction of the tempor...
