Zusammenfassung: | Objectives To examine the modifiable factors that alter the trajectory of blood pressure (BP) from childhood to adulthood. Study design This study investigated the BP of 798 participants (53% female) from the Childhood Determinants of Adult Health Study who had BP measured when aged 9, 12, or 15 years, and at follow-up 20 years later. BP was classified as normal or elevated (prehypertensive or hypertensive) in childhood and adulthood. BP trajectory groups (persistently normal, resolution, incident elevated, persistently elevated) were established according to these classifications. Potentially modifiable factors measured at both examinations included body mass index, fruit and vegetable intake, physical activity, cardiorespiratory fitness, alcohol consumption, smoking, and socioeconomic status. Results Spearman correlation coefficients for BP tracking from childhood to adulthood were 0.31 ( P |
