Objective : Hyperlipidemia and hypertension are well recognized risk factors of cerebrovascular disease. So it’s very important to evaluate blood pressure and s-cholesterol in adolescence.
Material and Methods : April 1999, we were requested health examinaion for high school students of a boys high school and a girls high school in Jeonbuk, Korea. The subjects were 360 students, boys were 317 and girls were 343. They were checked their height, body weight, blood pressure, and s-cholesterol.
Results and Conclusion : The mean of systolic blood pressure of study subjects was $111.89{\pm}12.43mmHg$. In boys, it was $116.25{\pm}11.78mmHg$, and in girls, it was $107.87{\pm}11.64mmHg$. The mean of diastolic blood pressure of study subjects was $68.45{\pm}9.40mmHg$. In boys, it was $66.92{\pm}10.00mmHg$, and in girls it was $69.85{\pm}9.40mmHg$. Hypertensives were 18(5.68%) in boys, 10(2.92%) in girls. The mean of s-cholesterol of study subjects was $174.95{\pm}32.28mg/dL$. In boys, it was $178.91{\pm}34.51mg/dL$, and in girls, it was $171.29{\pm}29.66mg/dL$. Hypercholesterolemias were 91(28.71%) in boys, 39(11.37%) in girls. The mean of BMI of study subjects was $21.12{\pm}3.27kg/m2$. In boys, it was $21.05{\pm}3.26kg/m2$, and in girls, it was $21.18{\pm}3.29kg/m2$. Obese boys were 18(5.68%), obese girls were 13(3.79%). The mean of diastolic blood pressure in obese boys was significantly higher than that of normal boys(p=0.001, Mann-Whitney test). The mean of s-cholesterol in obese boys($BMI{\ge}274$) was significantly higher than that of normal boys.(P=0.26, Mann-Whitney test).
