Hypertension is a complex and multifaceted disease, with many contributing
factors. While diet and nutrition are important influences, the confounding
effects of overweight and obesity, metabolic and genetic factors, racial and
ethnic predispositions, socioeconomic status, cultural influences, growth rate,
and pubertal stage have even more influence and make diagnosis quite challenging.
The prevalence of hypertension in adolescents far exceeds the numbers who have
been diagnosed; studies have found that 75% or more go undiagnosed. This
literature review summarizes the challenges of blood pressure classification in
adolescents, discusses the impact of these confounding influences, and identifies
actions that will improve diagnosis and treatment outcomes.
