Arterial blood pressure was studied retrospectively in 17,067 children and adolescents (aged 4-18 years - 8,647 males and 8,420 females) from cross-sectional data collected at the Preventive medicine centre in Nancy between 1977 to 1979. The distribution of blood pressure was expressed in percentiles by age and by height. Diastolic blood pressures are more widely scattered than systolic pressures as has been found in other studies and may be due to different methods and definitions used to determine the diastolic pressure. Arterial blood pressure seems to be more closely correlated to height than with age and it is suggested that when assessing blood pressure in children and adolescents curves of arterial blood pressure compared to height should be used. The definition of arterial hypertension remains difficult. On the basis of the centiles, 3 groups of children may be defined, one with borderline hypertension, one with proven hypertension and one with dangerous hypertension.
对1977年至1979年期间在南锡预防医学中心收集的横断面数据中的17067名儿童和青少年（4至18岁，其中男性8647名，女性8420名）的动脉血压进行了回顾性研究。血压分布按年龄和身高以百分位数表示。正如其他研究中所发现的，舒张压的离散度比收缩压更大，这可能是由于用于确定舒张压的方法和定义不同所致。动脉血压似乎与身高的相关性比与年龄的相关性更强，建议在评估儿童和青少年的血压时，应使用与身高相关的动脉血压曲线。动脉高血压的定义仍然很困难。根据百分位数，可以将儿童分为三组，一组为临界高血压，一组为确诊高血压，一组为重度高血压。
