The assessment of blood pressure in children and adolescents is of great importance in order to gain a better understanding of its pattern of evolution. The authors publish the normal values of blood pressure in Portuguese children and adolescents, according to age and sex, as well as the mean values of the 90th percentile, which are very important to separate normal children from those with high blood pressure. In this study the fifth Korotkoof sound is used to define diastolic blood pressure in all ages. New blood pressure tables are also published, for children and adolescents, that now include the height percentile for age and blood pressure. These new charts have been developed to guide practising clinicians in antihypertensive drug therapy, when indicated.
评估儿童和青少年的血压对于更好地了解其血压演变模式非常重要。作者公布了葡萄牙儿童和青少年按年龄和性别的血压正常值，以及第90百分位数的平均值，这对于区分正常儿童和高血压儿童非常重要。在本研究中，所有年龄段均采用柯氏第五音来定义舒张压。还发布了新的儿童和青少年血压表，现在这些表格包含了年龄和血压对应的身高百分位数。这些新图表旨在为执业临床医生在有指征时进行抗高血压药物治疗提供指导。
