Abstract: Pediatric hypertension (PH) causes severe risk factors and its prevention and obstruction. Diagnostic criteria for PH are the main reference to the normal distribution of arterial pressure (AP) in healthy children and are based on the fact that the PA pediatrician increases with aids and with a corporal mass. The objective is to characterize the profile of the AP in a pediatric population in order to educate and evaluate the prevalence of PH and AP normal-height and analyze the relationship between PH/AP normal-height and demographic characteristics. To finish the final stages of a study on PH prevalence at the national level promoted to the PH Group (Portuguese Pediatric Society) we considered the most recent data and followed previous work to estimate HP prevalence in the Portuguese population and to identify some associated risk factors. Statistical techniques like GLM or FA were considered.
