Summary: | Introduction and Objectives: Increasing number of studies show an association between overweight and obesity with arterial hypertension in childhood. The aim of this study was to assess body mass index (BMI) and high blood pressure (HBP) and its association in children and adolescents.Methods: Observational, cross-sectional and analytical study. Data was collected from the medical records of patients between 5 and 17 years of age, enrolled in the primary health care units at Figueira da Foz. The variables collected were gender, date of birth, weight, height, BMI, Systolic and Diastolic Blood Pressure. The descriptive and analytical statistical study was performed. Results: 2022 children were included, mean age was 10.5 ± 3.8 years, 50.3% were males. It was observed that 15.2% had obesity and 14.2% had overweight. Regarding BP, 7% had high normal BP and 5.6% had high BP. Children with overweight or obesity had an higher risk of high BP, Odd Ratio of 2.21 (95% CI, 1.35-3.61) in overweight children and 3.55 (95% CI, 2.26-5.57) in children with obesity. Conclusion: In the studied sample, approximately one in three young people was overweighed or obese. Children and adolescents with excessive weight had a significantly higher prevalence of elevated systolic and diastolic BP. Thus, since obese and hypertensive children are at an increased risk of becoming obese and hypertensive adults, it is important to implement preventive measures in this early stage of the life cycle. |

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a eventual relação entre o índice de massa corporal (IMC) e a tensão arterial (TA) das crianças e adolescentes.Métodos: Estudo observacional, transversal e analítico. Recolheram-se dados do processo clínico de utentes entre os 5 e os 17 anos inscritos nas unidades de cuidados de saúde primários da Figueira da Foz. As variáveis recolhidas foram: sexo, data de nascimento, peso, altura, IMC, TA sistólica (TAS) e TA diastólica (TAD). Realizou-se o estudo estatístico descritivo e analítico, com aplicação Odds Ratio (OR). Resultados: Foram incluídos 2022 jovens, com idade média de 10,5 ± 3,8 anos, sendo 50,3% do sexo masculino. Observou-se que 15,2% tinham obesidade e 14,2% Excesso de Peso (EP). Quanto à TA, verificou-se que 7% apresentavam TA normal alta e 5,6% TA alta. As crianças e jovens com excesso de peso ou obesidade apresentaram um risco significativamente superior de apresentar TA alta, OR de 2,21 (IC 95%, 1,35-3,61) nas crianças com excesso de peso e de 3,55 (IC 95%, 2,26-5,57) nas crianças com obesidade. Conclusão: Na amostra população estudada, aproximadamente um em cada três jovens tem EP ou obesidade. As crianças e adolescentes com peso excessivo têm maior prevalência de TA elevada, com um risco de 2 a 3 vezes superior. Dado que crianças obesas e hipertensas apresentam um risco acrescido de se tornarem adultos obesos e hipertensos, é importante implementar medidas de prevenção em idades precoces.Revista Portuguesa de Hipertensão e Risco Cardiovascular2022-05-14info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.58043/rphrc.9https://doi.org/10.58043/rphrc.9Revista Portuguesa de Hipertensão e Risco Cardiovascular; N.º 86 (2021): Novembro / Dezembro; 8-131646-8287reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPporhttps://revistahipertensao.pt/index.php/rh/article/view/9https://revistahipertensao.pt/index.php/rh/article/view/9/10Paz, G.Vale, C.Teles, E.Teixeira, C.Ribeiro, M.Martins, I.Viegas, A.Pereira, T.Rosa, M.Fernandes, F.info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2024-02-03T07:36:15Zoai:ojs.revistahipertensao.pt:article/9Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T16:05:07.151838Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
