OBJECTIVES
To document the prevalence and etiology of sustained blood pressure elevation in children.
METHODS & RESULTS: It is a school-based prospective cross-sectional study involving healthy school children in age group of 5-15 years (both sexes). Children with any acute or chronic illnesses and the intersexes were excluded from the study group. Total number of hypertensive children were 37. Of these 37 cases, 23 hypertensive cases were boys and 14 were girls. All these hypertensive children maintained their blood pressure above +2SD for the corresponding age and sex. Male and female ratio of hypertensive cases was 62:38. All were primary hypertensives as per working definition. Majority belonged to Class II socio-economic status.
CONCLUSION
Hypertension in children is very rare with a prevalence of 0.38% and majority had primary hypertension.

方法与结果
这是一项基于学校的前瞻性横断面研究，研究对象为5至15岁（男女皆有）的健康在校儿童。患有任何急性或慢性疾病的儿童以及两性畸形儿童被排除在研究组之外。高血压儿童总数为37名。在这37例病例中，23例高血压病例为男孩，14例为女孩。所有这些高血压儿童的血压均维持在相应年龄和性别的+2标准差以上。高血压病例的男女比例为62:38。根据现行定义，所有病例均为原发性高血压。大多数属于社会经济地位二级。
