Abstract

In order to obtain data on blood pressure (BP), heart rate, height, weight and body mass index (BMI) distribution in prepubertal children of small city, we prospectively recruited the cohort of 516 boys, 8 and 9 years old. Percentiles for abovementioned factors were calculated. BP rises with age, and both systolic and diastolic BP showed a positive correlation with heart rate, height, weight and BMI. Heart rate decreases with age and height and rises with BMI. Additionally percentiles of BP in depends on different percentiles of height were calculated. 90th and 95th centiles of BP slightly differs from US, Russian and other international standards. Genetic, ethnic, life-style and environmental factors were suggested to be responsible for this variation. Prospective study of cohort of 516 Chapaevsk boys is ongoing.
