J AndriskaA Tarr

Abstract

During a 10 year observation period hypertension was found in 105 children and adolescents. It was essential in 75% and in most cases combined with obesity. In 73% we found hypertension also in one or both parents. Large proportions of hypertensive children were associated with the risk factors (smoking, use of contraceptives, disturbed social conditions).
