Overview

Cross-sectional analysis links sociodemographic factors and lifestyle behaviors with hypertension risk in adolescents.

Key Points

  • Elevated blood pressure is associated with male sex and rural residency, indicating significant demographic influences.
  • Aerobic activity shows a notable connection to blood pressure levels, suggesting its protective effect against hypertension.
  • Increased waist circumference predicts elevated blood pressure, highlighting the importance of anthropometric measures.
  • Cardiometabolic markers, especially fasting glucose, are relevant in assessing blood pressure risk among Brazilian adolescents.
