title: [New Swedish standard gives values for blood pressure in children--better opportunities to detect and treat children with hypertension].
abstract: High blood pressure in children predicts hypertension in adulthood. Blood pressure should therefore be measured during childhood and adolescence, and if necessary treated at an early stage. The first Swedish standard for blood pressures in 6 to 16-year-old boys and girls is now available and recommended for screening or follow-up programs.
