This study describes the blood pressure (BP), heart rate and weight distribution of 1214 school-age children (6-11 years old) in Messina. The systolic BP is significantly correlated with weight in every age and in both sexes. The incidence of BP values equal or above the 95 degrees percentile are significantly higher in obese children. The distribution of BP in our population is the same as that reported by other Italian reports, but different from Task Force report. These data suggest the use of Italian blood pressure centiles in the valuation of our childhood population.
本研究描述了墨西拿1214名学龄儿童（6至11岁）的血压、心率和体重分布情况。收缩压在各年龄组及男女两性中均与体重显著相关。肥胖儿童中血压值等于或高于第95百分位数的发生率显著更高。我们人群中的血压分布与其他意大利报告所报道的相同，但与工作组报告不同。这些数据表明在评估我们的儿童人群时应使用意大利血压百分位数。
