To investigate the prevalence of hypertension in adolescents and children in the Taicang area and analyse related factors to provide a theoretical basis for the prevention and control of hypertension in this region.
A total of 1,000 students who were visited and surveyed in primary schools in the Taicang area in 2021 were selected for statistical testing using a cluster random sampling method, and a survey was conducted on their dietary habits. dietary habits, such as the consumption of meals that included protein-rich animal products, beans and dairy products, vegetables and fruits, salty foods and fried food, was taken into consideration, along with physical fitness indices, waist-to-height ratio and waist circumference.
Of the 1,000 adolescents and children surveyed, 222 were classified into the hypertensive group and 778 into the normotensive group. There were 138 boys (a prevalence rate of 6.3%) and 84 girls (a prevalence rate of 4.1%) in the hypertensive group. The physical fitness indices of the hypertensive group were significantly higher than those of the normotensive group. Concerning dietary structure, the frequency of cereal intake between the two groups was comparable, while the hypertensive group's intake of vegetables, fruits, beans and dairy products was significantly lower than that of the normotensive group. Finally, a logistic multivariate regression analysis of related factors was carried out, and it was concluded that waist-to-height ratio, waist circumference and salty and fried food intake were positively correlated with the prevalence of hypertension.
The prevalence of hypertension among adolescents and children in the Taicang area is high. Body weight and dietary structure can be used as reference indicators for the prevalence of hypertension in this age group.
调查太仓地区青少年和儿童高血压的患病率，并分析相关因素，为该地区高血压的防治提供理论依据。
采用整群随机抽样方法，选取 2021 年太仓地区小学 1000 名学生进行统计检测，对其饮食习惯、饮食习惯、饮食结构进行调查，如摄入富含蛋白质的动物产品、豆类和乳制品、蔬菜和水果、咸食和油炸食品等，同时考虑身体素质指数、腰高比和腰围。
在调查的 1000 名青少年和儿童中，222 人被归类为高血压组，778 人被归类为正常血压组。高血压组有 138 名男孩（患病率为 6.3%）和 84 名女孩（患病率为 4.1%）。高血压组的身体素质指数明显高于正常血压组。在饮食结构方面，两组的谷物摄入量相当，而高血压组蔬菜、水果、豆类和乳制品的摄入量明显低于正常血压组。最后，对相关因素进行了多因素 logistic 回归分析，得出腰高比、腰围和咸食及油炸食品摄入与高血压患病率呈正相关。
太仓地区青少年和儿童高血压患病率较高。体重和饮食结构可作为该年龄段高血压患病率的参考指标。
