Blood pressure reference values for European non-overweight school children: the IDEFICS study.

Abstract
To provide oscillometric blood pressure (BP) reference values in European non-overweight school children.

Cross-sectional analysis from the IDEFICS study (www.ideficsstudy.eu) database.
Standardised BP and anthropometric measures were obtained from children aged 2 to 10.9 years, participating in the 2007-2008 and 2009-2010 IDEFICS surveys. Age- and height-specific systolic and diastolic pressure percentiles were calculated by GAMLSS, separately for boys and girls, in both the entire population (n=16,937) and the non-overweight children only (n=13,547). The robustness of the models was tested by sensitivity analyses carried out in both population samples.
