Abstract

Background. Low birth weight was associated with cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. The inverse association between birth weight and blood pressure was consistently reported from many populations. Objective. To determine the relationship between blood pressure in children and their birth weight among primary school students. Methods. A cross sectional study was done on March 2011 in primary school in Medan. Blood pressure measurement was done to diagnose hypertension. We divided participants into two groups (low birth weight and normal birth weight). Sample was collected with consecutive sampling. Classification of hypertension determined by measurement of blood pressure and body height based on the Fourth Task Force. All statistical analyses were conducted with SPSS (version 15.0 for windows). Data were analyzed by using T test. Results. One hundred and seventy participants enrolled to study, consists 85 in each group. There was a significant difference in occurrence of systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) between low birth weight and normal birth weight (P<0.05). Conclusion. There was a significant relationship between birth weight and blood pressure
