Background—A large number of studies have examined the tracking of blood pressure (BP)
from childhood to adulthood, but the reported findings are inconsistent and few systematic …

Aim: Blood pressure (BP) is related with cardiovascular disease. BP tracking in childhood
and its implication for intervention trials are unknown. Methods: A systematic review and …

Objective Tracking of blood pressure (BP) from childhood occurs in populations but, for
individuals, prediction of adult BP from childhood levels is poor. We examined factors that …

Objectives To examine the modifiable factors that alter the trajectory of blood pressure (BP)
from childhood to adulthood. Study design This study investigated the BP of 798 participants …

Hypertension is the most common non-communicable disease among adults and is the most
important modifiable risk factor for premature cardiovascular disease. The increasing …

Blood pressure (BP) tracking (maintaining a BP percentile) across life is not well defined but
is important in predicting which children will become hypertensive adults. We computed BP …

Results SBP-6m was associated with SBP-7y (r= 0.715; P< 0.001) and with SBP-15y (r=
0.238; P= 0.017) and SBP-7y was associated with SBP-15y (r= 0.348; P< 0.001). Adjustment …

Although screening for elevated blood pressure (BP) in adults is beneficial, evidence of its
beneficial effects in children is not clear. Elevated BP in children is associated with …
