In 2004, the National High Blood Pressure Education Program Working Group on High Blood Pressure in Children and Adolescents recommended a new designation of prehypertension for children with mildly elevated blood pressure (BP). This description was intended to help identify children most at risk for the development of persistent hypertension for whom targeted prevention programs would be most beneficial and was based largely on expert opinions and epidemiologic normal values. This review summarizes the knowledge that has been gained regarding the epidemiology and risk associated with prehypertension in adolescents since its inception and highlights future challenges in understanding and preventing the development of hypertensive disease in this population.
2004 年，美国国家高血压教育计划工作组（National High Blood Pressure Education Program Working Group）针对儿童和青少年高血压，推荐使用新的术语“前期高血压”来描述血压轻度升高的儿童。这一描述旨在帮助识别最有可能发展为持续性高血压的儿童，他们最有可能从有针对性的预防计划中获益，而这主要是基于专家意见和流行病学的正常值。本综述总结了自前期高血压提出以来，在青少年中与前期高血压相关的流行病学和风险的研究进展，并强调了在该人群中理解和预防高血压疾病发展所面临的未来挑战。
