Abstract

To explore the relationship between parental hypertension history and hypertension in children and adolescents based on the relevant data of 6 049 children and adolescents aged 6 to 17 years old in Jinan city from September 2012 to September 2014. The results showed that the history of hypertension in parents was positively correlated with systolic blood pressure in children and adolescents, with the value of coefficient β (95%CI) about 0.91 (0.23-1.59). Compared with children and adolescents whose parents had no history of hypertension, those with history of hypertension in one parent and both parents were more likely to develop hypertension, with OR values (95%CI) about 1.28 (1.01-1.61) and 2.24 (1.09-4.61), respectively. Therefore, it is suggested that prevention and intervention measures should be taken as soon as possible for children and adolescents whose parents have a history of hypertension.

基于2012年9月至2014年9月济南城区6 049名6~17岁儿童青少年的相关资料,探讨父母高血压史与儿童青少年高血压的关联。结果显示,父母高血压史与儿童青少年收缩压呈正相关,β(95%CI)值为0.91(0.23~1.59);父母一方有高血压史、父母双方均有高血压史的儿童青少年罹患高血压的可能性均较大,OR(95%CI)值分别为1.28(1.01~1.61)、2.24(1.09~4.61)。因此,建议针对父母有高血压史的儿童青少年,应尽早采取预防和干预措施。.
