بررسي ميزان فشارخون دانش آموزان مدارس اروميه به منظور تعيين استاندارد فشارخون

A STUDY ON URMIA STUDENTʹS BLOOD PRESSURE FOR STANDARD DETERMINATION

Background & Aim : Blood pressure determination is one of the most important tools for children health assessment. Interpretation of blood pressure depends on standard values, which depends to high, weight and environmental factors. Material and Method: Blood pressure of 3400 students with age group of 6-18 years, which sampled by clustral-randomised method from Urmia schools were examined. Values for blood pressure was draw according to gender, age and body mass index after data collection. Results: High correlation observed between systolic pressure and weight in both genders. Significant correlation observed between systolic and diastolic pressure with height, pressure in males is higher than that of females. Systolic ʹand diastolic percentile of 90 and 95 were lower than public reference in both genders. Discussion: Collected data are different in some index with reference. We recommend other studies and use of the values of this study for interpretation of blood pressure in the region.
