[Intervention associated with risk factors for essential arterial hypertension. II. Epidemiologic observations of schoolchildren].
Based on an epidemiological screening of 6411 pupils from 7 schools of different types, the frequency and intensity of the association of 8 risk factors for essential hypertension in a series with increased blood pressure values and in a normotensive one was compared. The frequency of the various studied risk factors was significant especially in the pupils with increased blood pressure values. The average number of risk factors in the two series was unsignificant. The intensity of 2, 3 or 4 risk factors different associations was more marked in the pupils with increased blood pressure values than in the controls. Some risk factors proved to be more frequently involved in multifactorial associations. The importance of such studies for the elaboration of prevention programmes in underlined.
