چکیده

Journal of The College of Physicians and Surgeons Pakistan 2008, Vol. 18 (1): 64-65 Blood pressure levels and BMI values were compared between children (8-16 years old) of hypertensive and normotensive parents. Children of hypertensive parents (n=97) were found to have significantly higher mean Systolic Blood Pressure (mSBP), mean Diastolic Blood Pressure (mDBP) and BMI as compared to children of normotensive parents (n=93). Essential hypertension has a strong genetic basis, which is reflected by its significant inheritability.
