Essential hypertension is found in aproximately 1% of school children. The elevation of BP (blood pressure) is generally mild, but essential hypertension during childhood may endure into adulthood, and may involve organ damages even in childhood. Since children's BP shows age-related increase, the diagnostic criteria for hypertension also change according to age. The BPs shown in the criteria were higher by approximately 10 mmHg in Japan than in the United States probably because of the fewness of data available on children's BP in Japan. Recent studies have, however demonstrated similar BPs between Japanese and American children. Concerning other lifestyle-related diseases, diagnostic criteria for obesity and metabolic syndrome show minimal difference between young and older children.
