• Objective: To assess reference values of ambulatory BP in normotensive children and adolescents. Subjects and methods Twenty-four hour non-invasive ambulatory BP monitoring was carried out in 750 healthy normotensive children (438 girls), aged from 4 to 18 years. The subjects were subdivided in eight height-sex groups (from 100 to 180 cm). Ambulatory BP was performed using an oscillometric device (Spacelabs 90207/90217), and appropriate cuff size, during a regular school/working day. BP was measured every 20 min from 06:00 to midnight, and thereafter every 30 min. Average of SBP, DBP and HR for 24hour, daytime (08:00 to 22:00) and nighttime (midnight to 06:00) were calculated. For each specific height-sex group, mean, P50, P90 and P95 were calculated. Results. A progressive increase in SBP across the height range was observed in both sexes, for daytime and nighttime. The P50 and P95 (the upper limit of normality) for boys (_) and girls ( … ) are in the (See Figure). In DBP no changes were observed across the height range. Conclusion. The present values provided an useful information in establishing reference ambulatory BP values for pediatric population.
