Abstract:
A total of 1507 children aged 7 ～ 12 years in Qinhuangdao were incruited to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of different obesity indices in screening hypertension.Blood pressure and obesity indices were positively correlated(P＜0.01).Area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve were 0.744 ～ 0.835 in boys and 0.704 ～ 0.796 in girls (P＜0.01).Obesity indices could be used as parameters for detecting hypertension in children.
