to evaluate anthropometric and demographic indicators associated with high blood pressure in children aged 6 to 10 years in urban and rural areas of Minas Gerais.
this is a cross-sectional study with 335 children. Anthropometric, demographic and blood pressure data were collected. The statistics analyzes were performed using the chi-square, t-student, Mann-Whitney and logistic regression tests, and the odds ratio was the association measure.
the prevalence of high blood pressure was significantly higher among rural children. In the urban area, the chance of high blood pressure was higher in children who had a high body mass index (2.97 [1.13-7.67]) and in the rural area, in those who had increased waist circumference (35.4 [3.0-406.2]) and the age range of 9-10 years (4.29 [1.46-12.6]).
elevated body mass index and waist circumference were important anthropometric indicators for high blood pressure, as well as age in children living in rural area. The evaluation of body mass index and waist circumference, in addition to nutritional assessments, represents an important action for the screening of high blood pressure in children from different territorial contexts.
评估米纳斯吉拉斯州城乡6至10岁儿童中与高血压相关的人体测量和人口统计学指标。
这是一项对335名儿童进行的横断面研究。收集了人体测量、人口统计学和血压数据。使用卡方检验、t检验、曼-惠特尼检验和逻辑回归检验进行统计分析，关联度量采用比值比。
农村儿童高血压患病率显著更高。在城市地区，体重指数较高的儿童患高血压的几率更高（2.97 [1.13 - 7.67]）；在农村地区，腰围增加的儿童（35.4 [3.0 - 406.2]）以及9至10岁年龄段的儿童（4.29 [1.46 - 12.6]）患高血压的几率更高。
体重指数和腰围升高是高血压的重要人体测量指标，对于农村地区儿童而言年龄也是重要指标。除营养评估外，对体重指数和腰围的评估是筛查不同地区儿童高血压的一项重要举措。
