Essential hypertension in children is difficult to define and is probably very rare. Of 44 children and adolescents diagnosed between 1966 and 1980 to have essential hypertension, we found that only 8 patients continued to be hypertensive, 3 patients turned out to have secondary hypertension and only 5 patients continued to have elevated blood pressures. The incidence of obesity was high in our patients initially diagnosed to have hypertension, but had normalized their weight at the time of reevaluation. The patients with sustained hypertension had initial diastolic blood pressures over 90 mm of mercury at an age of under 12 years and over 100 mm of mercury when older than 12 years of age.
儿童原发性高血压很难定义，而且可能非常罕见。在1966年至1980年间被诊断为原发性高血压的44名儿童和青少年中，我们发现只有8名患者持续高血压，3名患者后来被证实患有继发性高血压，只有5名患者血压持续升高。最初被诊断为高血压的患者中肥胖发生率很高，但在重新评估时体重已恢复正常。持续性高血压患者在12岁以下时初始舒张压超过90毫米汞柱，12岁以上时超过100毫米汞柱。
