Resumo: | The aim of the study was to estimate the prevalence of high blood pressure (HBP) and its association with anthropometric indicators of adiposity in Portuguese schoolchildren. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, a nationally representative sample of 6-9-year-old children was analyzed. Weight and height (used to calculate body mass index [BMI]), blood pressure (BP), waist circumference (WC) and skinfold thickness (used to estimate body fat percentage [BFP]) were measured using standard techniques. BP was classified as high-normal BP or hypertension for values between the 90th and 95th percentiles or above the 95th percentile, respectively. A body adiposity index was calculated with principal component analysis using BMI, WC and BFP. Multinomial logistic regression models were used to estimate the strength of the association between anthropometric indicators and HBP. Results: The prevalence of high-normal BP and hypertension was 4.5% and 3.7%, respectively. BP was positively correlated with all anthropometric indicators (p < 0.01 for all). HBP was significantly more prevalent in females than in males and was positively associated with higher values of the assessed anthropometric indicators of adiposity, especially among females. Conclusion: Increased body fat predicted HBP. The use of anthropometric indicators may thus be useful in screening for HBP among Portuguese schoolchildren. |

As medidas de peso e altura (usadas para estimar o índice de massacorporal [IMC]), pressão arterial [PA], circunferência da cintura [CC] e dobras cutâneas {usadaspara estimar o percentual de gordura corporal --- PBF}) foram aferidas com procedimentos-padrão. A HAS foi classificada em pressão arterial normal-alta ou hipertensão para valores entreos percentis 90 e 95 ou acima do percentil 95, respectivamente. Um índice de adiposidade foiestimado por meio da análise de componentes principais com o uso de IMC, CC e BFP. Modelosde regressão logística multinomial foram usados para estimar a magnitude da associac¸ão entreindicadores de adiposidade e HAS.Resultados: As prevalências de pressão arterial normal-alta e hipertensão foram de 4,5 e 3,7%,respectivamente. A HAS foi positivamente correlacionada com todos os indicadores de adiposi-dade (p < 0,01 para todos). HAS foi significativamente maior em meninas do que em meninos efoi positivamente associada com o aumento dos indicadores antropométricos de adiposidade,especialmente entre as meninas.Conclusão: O aumento da gordura corporal pode predizer HAS. Assim, o uso de indicadoresantropométricos para adiposidade pode ser útil na triagem de HAS em escolares portugueses.2018-04info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttp://hdl.handle.net/10316/101860http://hdl.handle.net/10316/101860https://doi.org/10.1016/j.repc.2017.09.016eng08702551Rodrigues, Paulo Rogério MeloPereira, Rosangela AlvesGama, AugustaCarvalhal, Isabel MourãoNogueira, HelenaMarques, Vitor RosadoPadez, Cristinainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2022-09-19T20:41:17Zoai:estudogeral.uc.pt:10316/101860Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T21:18:57.841558Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
