Severe hypertension is rarely seen in children, but there is increasing evidence that childhood may be an appropriate time to consider measures for the prevention of hypertension later in life. The normal range for blood pressure in children and the significance of an "elevated" blood pressure are discussed. Evidence is reviewed which indicates that heredity obesity, and sodium intake are important determinants of blood pressure. There is a role for the nutritionist in the management and the possible prevention of essential hypertension.
严重高血压在儿童中很少见，但越来越多的证据表明，儿童期可能是考虑采取措施预防日后发生高血压的合适时机。本文讨论了儿童血压的正常范围以及“血压升高”的意义。文中回顾了相关证据，这些证据表明遗传、肥胖和钠摄入是血压的重要决定因素。营养师在原发性高血压的管理和可能的预防中可以发挥作用。
