This study comprised part of a larger cross-sectional survey performed in Hungary in the period 2005-2006, which was designed first to reveal the representative age-, gender- and height-specific percentile values for the systolic blood pressure (SBP) and the diastolic blood pressure (DBP) in Hungarian children aged 11-16 years. The second aim was to determine the prevalence of overweight and obesity.
Analyses were performed on 14,290 Hungarian children aged 11-16 years. All blood pressure (BP) measurements were made with a validated, automated, digital device. The criteria recommended by international guidelines were used.
The prevalence of overweight and obesity among the Hungarian children was found to be 23.4% (3347 adolescents; International Obesity Task Force criteria). Previous studies have reported that the strongest correlation is observed between the BP values and weight, and our results are in accordance with this.
Regional differences in morphometry (different prevalences of overweight and obesity) and the genetic background, disparate eating habits and other cultural factors may account for the differences in BP levels during childhood. As the prevalence of overweight and obesity is increasing worldwide, it is important that countries carefully monitor the weight and BP status of their children and adolescents.
本研究是 2005-2006 年在匈牙利进行的一项更大横断面调查的一部分，旨在首次揭示匈牙利 11-16 岁儿童收缩压（SBP）和舒张压（DBP）的年龄、性别和身高特异性百分位数代表值。第二个目的是确定超重和肥胖的患病率。
对 14290 名 11-16 岁的匈牙利儿童进行了分析。所有血压（BP）测量均使用经过验证的自动化数字设备进行。使用国际指南推荐的标准。
匈牙利儿童超重和肥胖的患病率为 23.4%（3347 名青少年；国际肥胖工作组标准）。之前的研究报告称，BP 值与体重之间观察到最强的相关性，我们的结果与这一结果一致。
形态差异（超重和肥胖的不同患病率）和遗传背景、不同的饮食习惯以及其他文化因素可能导致儿童期血压水平存在差异。由于超重和肥胖的患病率在全球范围内不断增加，重要的是各国仔细监测其儿童和青少年的体重和血压状况。
