The purpose of this analytic research by cross-sectional study purposed to examine the association of age with elevated blood pressure and hypertension in adolescents. Among the population of 2,462 adolescents, the undergraduate students, who were the resident of domestics placed of a university in Southern region, three-hundred and fifty people were recruited by using a simple sampling. Majorities were women (67%), and mean age was 19 years old. Blood pressure category was classified based on the ACC/AHA 2017 criteria.
The results showed that 1 in 3 adolescents (35.07%) had high blood pressure, and 1 in 4 (26.37%) had hypertension. Univariate logistic analysis revealed the association of age with high blood pressure. Adolescent aged 22 years old had 4-fold of high diastolic blood pressure (OR 4.06, 95%CI 1.12-14.61, p = 0.032) and hypertension (OR 3.81, 95%CI 1.06-13.68, p = 0.040), compared with those aged 20 years old. The older adolescent, aged >20 years old were more likely had higher prevalence of high systolic blood pressure (OR 3.08, 95%CI 0.90-10.48, p = 0.072), and high diastolic blood pressure (OR 8.73, 95%CI 0.93-81.87, p = 0.058).
The prevalence of high blood pressure in this adolescent group was higher than our expectation. Therefore, a comprehensive cardiovascular risk screening is needed to identify overall risk factors. Promoting individual’s healthy lifestyle and healthy environment in order to raise their awareness of high blood pressure, and cardiovascular risk reduction is needed.
