A cross-sectional study among 701 school children (12-16 years) was conducted in Aligarh to find out the prevalence of hypertension and to correlate school going adolescent's blood pressure with age, sex, height and weight. The weight was taken by a standardized weighing machine while height was measured using a standard stediometer. Blood pressure measurements were taken by a mercury sphygmomanometer. The distribution of blood pressure by anthropometric characteristics were studied. Mean, standard deviation and correlation coefficient were used for statistical analysis. The overall prevalence of hypertension was found to be 9.4%. Blood pressure of both gender appear to have positive correlation with anthropometric characteristics. Study recommends that children must be screened regularly for blood pressure so that remedial measure can be initiated as early as possible.
在阿拉哈巴德对 701 名（12-16 岁）在校儿童进行了一项横断面研究，以了解高血压的流行情况，并将在校青少年的血压与年龄、性别、身高和体重相关联。体重由标准化称重机测量，身高使用标准身高计测量。血压测量使用汞柱血压计。研究了按人体测量特征分布的血压。均值、标准差和相关系数用于统计分析。高血压的总体患病率为 9.4%。两性的血压似乎与人体测量特征呈正相关。研究建议必须定期对儿童进行血压筛查，以便尽早采取补救措施。
