Abstract. Hypertension is a major public health issue in industrialized nations, affecting approximately 20% of adults. Hypertension often begins in childhood, and children with hypertension are very likely to be seen with this disorder as adults. The close associations of hypertension with atherosclerosis, coronary and cerebrovascular disease, diabetes and end-stage renal disease make it a major contributor to the most common causes of morbidity and mortality in adult population. (1) According to many studies performed in adult populations, the effective treatment of hypertension reduces the risk of coronary heart disease, stroke, renal disease and congestive heart failure.

摘要。高血压是工业化国家的一个主要公共卫生问题，影响着约20%的成年人。高血压往往始于儿童期，患有高血压的儿童成年后很可能仍患有这种疾病。高血压与动脉粥样硬化、冠心病和脑血管疾病、糖尿病及终末期肾病密切相关，这使其成为成年人群发病和死亡最常见原因的主要促成因素。（1）根据在成年人群中进行的许多研究，有效治疗高血压可降低冠心病、中风、肾病和充血性心力衰竭的风险。（2）
