Abstract
Hypertension is major risk factor for many illnesses. Studies have shown that burden of hypertension in children is increasing. Hence, this study was conducted to find distribution of blood pressure and correlates among School Going Children of Nalanda District. Mean SBP was 107.1±7.8 mm of Hg and mean DBP was 71.0±4.4 mm of Hg. It was seen that mean SBP and DBP were higher for males as compared to females (p=0.00) and higher age (p<0.05) and not related to religion (p>0.05) and socioeconomic status (p>0.05). Routine BP measurement in children is vital.
