ABSTRACT

Blood pressure measurement is fundamental in the clinical assessment, as well its impacto on public health and epidemiology areas. In this work we compared the percentiles for blood pressure of the first nacional study of human growth and development of Venezuela (I ENCDH) against those reported by the USA population in the IV Task Force Report, finding that these are different the last one takes in account the height. For these rehaznos we compared the height percentiles of the I ENCDH against those of th Centers for Disease Control, National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) (USA) which were used at the IV Task Force Report. A comparison of those was made in order to determinate which were those differences and similarities between both percentile distributions (Venezuela versus USA) in order to adapt the cut points for blood pressure. Statistical analysis shown that there were not significant differences (p›0.05) between percentiles p10 with p5, p25 with p10, p50 with p25, p75 with p50, p90 with p75, and p97 with p90, of Venezuela and EUA, respectively. Taken in consideration these similarities we homologated and generated an adaptation for fixed values of cut points that take in consideration the height of children and teenagers of Venezuela.
