Medical conditions diagnosed during adolescence may have long term impacts on the health of an individual. As a result, identifying cardiovascular risk factors earlier in life such as prehypertension (pre-HTN) and hypertension (HTN) can have significant benefits across an individual's lifespan. Diagnosing elevated blood pressure (BP) during adolescence can be difficult, partially due to the natural variability that occurs during this period of life. Levels of BP that define adolescent prehypertension/hypertension are provided as well as an abridged review of BP variability across research groups. Strategies for BP management of adolescents are considered, with the primary focus on nonpharmacologic interventions.
青春期诊断出的疾病可能会对个体健康产生长期影响。因此，在生命早期识别心血管危险因素，如高血压前期（pre-HTN）和高血压（HTN），在个体的一生中会带来显著益处。在青春期诊断血压升高（BP）可能很困难，部分原因是在此生命阶段会出现自然波动。文中提供了定义青少年高血压前期/高血压的血压水平，以及对各研究组血压波动情况的简要综述。文中还探讨了青少年血压管理策略，主要侧重于非药物干预措施。
