Guiding Suggestions: Childhood Hypertension Screening and Intervention Current Status of Childhood Hypertension in China Hypertension has been increasingly recognized worldwide, and many studies have shown that its occurrence and development originate in childhood, with children's blood pressure levels to some extent determining adult blood pressure. Since the 1980s, various regions in China have successively reported health surveys of children's blood pressure, with the incidence of childhood hypertension ranging from 0.5% to 12.9%. In the 2005 Tianjin Child Growth and Development Survey, blood pressure measurements and questionnaires on related factors were conducted for 15,940 children aged 3–6 in kindergartens and childcare centers across the city. The survey results showed that the detection rate of blood pressure above normal was 9.4% (male 8.6%, female 10.2%).
