AbstractThe present appraisal indicates that blood pressure patterns in adolescence differ from those in adulthood and that the design of hypertension detection programs needs to be modified for this age group. Routine blood pressure screening within the school system would appear to be the most effective means for early detection of hypertension. Links with established hypertension clinics, preferably within an adolescent unit, should be forged so that health preservation becomes a meaningful part of the educational process. Although primary hypertension has been documented in the adolescent age group, the incidence is unknown and careful diagnostic evaluation is warranted until our knowledge of its characteristics is more fully expanded.
