Abstract
(p1⁄40.003). Adolescents with HABP showed significant higher values than normotensives in the AASI, these values were: 0.483 0.3 vs. 0.390 0.2 (p<0.0.04). Spearman Correlation shows a statistically significant correlation between HABP and AASI (r1⁄40.2197, P<0.02) In conclusion, there is a very high prevalence of HABP in adolescent population. In this age group, the AASI is associated with the presence of high ambulatory BP. This condition, associated with arterial stiffness, should be assessed in adolescents with high values of ambulatory blood pressure, because they should be in high cardiovascular risk.
