To investigate the value of hip circumference related indexes for identifying childhood hypertension. In 2011, 1,352 Han children aged 7-12 years were recruited in our study. Hypertension was defined as systolic blood pressure or diastolic blood pressure ≥95th percentile for all three screenings. We set the power value of the hip circumference/height ratio (x = 0, 0.8, 1 and 1.5) and studied the association with blood pressure. Hip circumference, hip circumference/height, hip circumference/height and hip circumference/height all showed a positive correlation with systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure(P < 0.05). Area under the curve (AUC) was used to evaluate the abilities of hip circumference related indexes. Hip circumference/height, hip circumference/height and hip circumference/height1.5 were not superior to hip circumference. The present study demonstrates that hip circumference measurement is a helpful tool to detect the presence of hypertension in Han children 7-12 years old.
探讨臀围相关指标在识别儿童高血压中的价值。2011 年,我们研究纳入了 1352 名汉族 7-12 岁儿童。高血压定义为三次筛查中收缩压或舒张压≥95 百分位。我们设定臀围/身高比(x=0、0.8、1 和 1.5)的幂值,并研究其与血压的关系。臀围、臀围/身高、臀围/身高比和臀围/身高比均与收缩压和舒张压呈正相关(P<0.05)。曲线下面积(AUC)用于评估臀围相关指标的能力。臀围/身高比、臀围/身高比和臀围/身高比 1.5 并不优于臀围。本研究表明,臀围测量是一种有助于检测汉族 7-12 岁儿童高血压的工具。
