Tracking of blood pressure and anthropometric measures in Nigerian children.

Abstract:

:Persistence in ranks (tracking) for blood pressure and anthropometric measures over a one year period was examined in 208 Nigerian children (age 6-17 years). Systolic blood pressure tracked better than diastolic blood pressure (r = 0.52 to 0.72) and r = 0.25 to 0.55, respectively). For systolic blood pressure, 56.5%-70.6% of the Nigerian children remained in the top tertile after one year compared with 45.5%-69.2% for diastolic blood pressure. Weight showed the strongest correlation over the one year period (r = 0.88 to 0.97), whereas skinfolds demonstrated the weakest association (r = 0.54 to 0.82). The association between anthropometric measures at baseline and blood pressure one year later revealed for both males and females that height and weight were positively and significantly correlated with blood pressure.
