[Correlation of arterial tension in the child population of Guadasuar].
A longitudinal study of blood pressure (BP) in children from Guadasuar was undertaken in 1984 and 1987. The subjects included 577 children from 5 to 14 years of age. The regression analysis for systolic BP was r = 0.34 (p < 0.00000) (r = 0.38 in males and 0.30 in females). The diastolic BP was not significant. The tracking was studied for 84 cases detected in 1984 with BP values in the 95th percentile or above (for age and sex). In 1987, only 17 cases (20.2%) remained in this classification. This trend towards the normalization of BP as time progressed, and the low correlations found suggest that there is no predictability for high BP with only one measurement of BP.
