A reappraisal of the prevalence of pediatric hypertension through a nationwide database in Taiwan
Abstract Hypertension in childhood and adolescence is associated with adult cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. However, the reported prevalence of pediatric hypertension varies considerably. We conducted a pioneer nationwide population-based study to investigate the prevalence of hypertension a...
