Current blood pressure (BP) classification is based on the recent recommendations of the Joint National Committee on Prevention, Detection, Evaluation and Treatment of High Blood Pressure (JNC-7) and the 2003 European Society of Hypertension-European Society of Cardiology Guidelines for the Management of Arterial Hypertension. The JNC-7 introduced a new concept, prehypertension, and recommended health-promoting lifestyle modifications for these individuals. Obesity is also recognized as a major risk factor for the development of hypertension. We aimed to determine the prevalence of hypertension and obesity in a large cohort of adolescents and to assess whether prehypertension and body mass index (BMI) increase with increasing age.
