High blood pressure, or hypertension, was long thought to be an adult problem, with the incidence increasing among older age groups. But nowadays, higher numbers of children suffer from hypertension, and more attention is being paid to this situation. Some studies indicate that up to 6% of teenagers and 1% of children below the age of 12 suffer from this problem. If a child’s blood pressure exceeds that of 95% of others in his age group it is considered to be hypertension. Identifying the causes of hypertension in children has become a priority health matter.

High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, is a condition in which the force of the blood pumped by the heart is consistently elevated due to the resistance of the arteries against the blood flow. Blood pressure is measured as the pressure of the heart beat (systolic) over the pressure of the heart at rest (diastolic). Hypertension is defined as a blood pressure of–0/90 or higher. Normal, or healthy, blood pressure for average adults should be 120/80 or less.
