PG - 111759 LID - S0899-9007(22)00172-1 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.nut.2022.111759 [doi] AB - OBJECTIVES: Among urban and rural Indian children ages 9 to 18 y, we aimed to assess the prevalence and determinants of primary hypertension (PH), and explore the relationship of fat indices and body composition with hypertension. METHODS: Data from a multicenter study (2016-2017), representative of children (age 9-18 y) from six states were analyzed (n = 1818; urban n = 895). All anthropometric parameters (Z-scores), blood pressure (BP), body composition, and resting metabolic rate (RMR) were measured. Information from a 2-d 24-h diet recall was collected, nutrient and food group intakes were calculated, and physical activity (PA) was assessed. Children were categorized as normotensive or pre-/hypertensive (>90(th) percentile), and a regression analysis was carried out for determinants. RESULTS: Urban children were significantly taller, heavier, more overweight or obese (25% vs. 11%), pre-/hypertensive (18% vs. 10%), adipose, and had lower RMR/weight than rural children. All hypertensive children had higher fat indices, lower muscle mass, and RMR/weight than those who were normotensive (P < 0.05). Rural hypertensive children consumed more junk food, simple carbohydrate (CHO), fat, and sodium than those who were normotensive. RMR (R(2) = 33%) was found to be an important predictor of BP in rural children and body mass index (R(2) = 46%) in urban children, followed by central and peripheral obesity, PA, and diet. CONCLUSIONS: Our study highlights that rural children are also at risk of developing PH, especially those with a higher intake of junk food and carbohydrate. Another interesting finding was the negative association of PH with RMR/weight, increasing PA, as well as a micronutrient-rich diet with calcium and magnesium vital to prevent PH. Health care policies need to focus on the increasing prevalence of obesity and PH, not only in urban, but also rural children where different strategies may have to be applied.
