Abstract

Aim: The study was conducted to determine average arterial blood pressures in children of elementary school age and assess whether there was any correlation with sex, height, body weight, body mass index (BMI), and surface area. Material and Methods: Totally 905 students (451male (49%), 454 female (51%)) in 7-15 age grup from four different schools with several socioeconomic and cultural characteristics were included in the study by group sampling method. Arterial blood pressures of each children were measured three times, average of the last two measurements were recorded as the blood pressure of the child, and general physical examinations and antropometric measurements were performed. Fiftieth, 75th, 90th, and 95th blood pressure percentiles were determined for each age grup. Children with systolic and diastolic blood pressure above 95th percentile according to the US Second Task Force Group levels were accepted as hypertension. Result: Accordingly, systolic hypertension was detected in 40 (4.4%) children (12 male, 28 female), diastolic hypertension in 28 (3.1%) children (6 male, 22 female), and both systolic and diastolic hypertension in 15 (1.6%) children (4 male, 11 female). Systolic and diastolic hypertension proportions were 1.8% and 1.2% in the schools with high socioeconomic levels, and 2.5% and 1.8% in the schools with low socioeconomic levels, respectively. A significant relation was found between socioeconomic level of the school and systolic hypertension depending on age and sex (p=0.031), but no significant relation with diastolic hypertension (p=0.086). Concluction: While a positive correlation was detected with Pearson’s Correlation Test between both systolic and diastolic hypertensions and age, height, body weight, BMI, and surface area of the child in both sexes, no significant correlation was found with sex

Özet

Amaç: Çalışmamız Kırıkkale ilinde ilköğretim çağındaki çocuklarda arteryel kan basıncı ortalamalarının saptanması ve cinsiyet, boy, vücut ağırlığı, vücut kitle indeksi (BMI), yüzey alanı ile ilişkili olup olmadığının değerlendirilmesi amacıyla yapıldı. Gereç ve Yöntemler: İl merkezinde değişik sosyoekonomik ve kültürel özellikler taşıyan dört ayrı okuldan 7-15 yaş grubunda toplam 905 öğrenci (451 erkek (%49), 454 kız (%51)) grup örnekleme yöntemi ile araştırmaya dahil edildi. Her çocuğun arteriyel kan basınçları üçer kez ölçülüp, son ikisinin ortalaması çocuğun kan basıncı olarak kaydedildi, genel fizik incelemesi ve antropometrik ölçümleri yapıldı. Her yaş grubunda sistolik ve diyastolik kan basıncı için 50., 75., 90., 95. persantil değerleri belirlendi. ABD Second Task Force Grubu değerlerine göre sistolik ve diyastolik arteryel kan basıncı değerleri 95. persentil üzerinde olanlar hipertansif olarak kabul edildi. Bulgular: Buna göre 40 çocukta (%4,4) sistolik hipertansiyon (12 erkek, 28 kız), 28 çocukta (%3,1) diyastolik hipertansiyon (6 erkek, 22 kız), 15 (%1,6) çocukta ise hem sistolik hem de diyastolik hipertansiyon (4 erkek, 11 kız) saptandı. Sosyoekonomik düzeyi yüksek okullarda sistolik hipertansiyon oranı %1,8, diyastolik hipertansiyon oranı %1,2, sosyoekonomik düzeyi düşük okullarda sistolik hipertansiyon oranı %2,5, diyastolik hipertansiyon oranı %1,8 bulunmuştur. Okulların sosyoekonomik durumuna göre, yaş ve cinse bağlı olarak sistolik kan basıncı değerleri arasında anlamlı bir ilişki bulunurken (p=0,031), diyastolik kan basıncı arasında anlamlı bir ilişki (p= 0,086) saptanamamıştır. Sonuç: Her iki cinsiyette de hem sistolik hem de diyastolik arteryel kan basıncı değerleri ile çocuğun yaş, boy, vücut ağırlığı, vücut kitle indeksi, yüzey alanı değerleri arasında Pearson Korelasyon Testi ile pozitif ilişki saptanırken, cinsiyet ile anlamlı bir ilişki olmadığı görülmüştür
