Abstract:
The prevalence of childhood primary hypertension is increasing each year,not only bring-ing symptoms to these children,but also causing damage to multiple target organs such as heart,kidney,blood vessels,eyes and nerve system. Childhood hypertension is a risk factor of adult hypertension. Paying atten-tion to and preventing childhood hypertension has become a public health challenge. There are many associat-ed risk factors for childhood primary hypertension,including parental hypertension,overweight and obesity, low birth weight,and so forth. From the analysis of these factors,suggestions can be given about how to pre-vent childhood primary hypertension.
