A total of 1500 apparently healthy children between 1-12 years of age were examined. Blood pressure (BP) readings were taken and standard deviation and percentiles worked out for different sexes and age groups. Prevalence of hypertension was found to be 2.86% in males and 2.97% in females in 5-12 years of age group. Obesity was prevalent in 24% of the hypertensive cases. A higher value of serum cholesterol as compared to controls was also seen in the hypertensive group.
