![]() Childhood HBP can continue to progress to adulthood hypertension, and increase the risk of subclinical cardiovascular disease (target organ damage) in adulthood. The survey in 2015 showed that the global prevalence of hypertension in children aged 6 years and 14 years was 4.32% and 7.89%, respectively. Pediatric hypertension is prevalent worldwide and has become an important public health problem. The SAF may be positively associated with SBP in boys and girls, while the MVPAF may be negatively associated with DBP in boys. ConclusionĬompared with the boys with MVPAP, boys with SAP may increase the risks of HBP and high DBP. The MVPAF was negatively correlated with DBP ( β( SE)=-0.11 (0.40), P = 0.022) in boys. ![]() The MVPAF and UHEBF in boys were significantly higher than those in girls ( P < 0.01), while the SAF in girls was significantly higher than that in boys ( P < 0.05). Lifestyles includes physical activity patterns and eating behavior patterns. HEBF ≥ UHEBF was defined as healthy eating behavior pattern (HEBP), while the opposite was defined as unhealthy eating behavior pattern (UHEBP). ![]() MVPAF ≥ SAF was defined as moderate to vigorous physical activity pattern (MVPAP), MVPAF < SAF was defined as sedentary activity pattern (SAP). Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was used to extract moderate to vigorous physical activity factor (MVPAF), sedentary activity factor (SAF), healthy eating behavior factor (HEBF), unhealthy eating behavior factor (UHEBF). The students’ body height, weight, systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) were measured, and their physical activity time and eating behaviors were surveyed by using CLASS questionnaire and self-made eating behavior questionnaire, respectively. MethodsĪ total of 687 students aged 8–15 years were selected from two nine-year primary and secondary schools using stratified cluster random sampling method. Revealing the associations between physical activity patterns, eating behavior patterns and high blood pressure (HBP) could help improve the problem of hypertension from the actual children’s physical activities and eating behaviors. ![]() Physical activity and eating behavior are associated with hypertension in children and adolescents. ![]()
