The Perceived parental perception and children’s weight status.

<p>A bar chart showing the perceived parental perception regarding their child’s weight status and actual (measured) children’s weight status categorized according to CDC percentiles for age and gender.</p

The prevalence of pre-hypertension, hypertension, systolic, and diastolic hypertension, by sex, number = 999 (47% females).

<p>BP; blood pressure.</p

Subject characteristics, by sex.

<p>SD; standard deviation, BMI; body mass index, SBP; systolic blood pressure, DBP; diastolic blood pressure, Z-score deviation of BP from age, sex, height specific CDC reference value, divided by the difference between the 95^th and 50^th CDC percentile.</p

The relationship between blood pressure and children’s weight status.

<p>Box plots of standardized systolic (1A) and diastolic (1B) blood pressure (BP), by age group, weight category [underweight (solid boxes), overweight (dotted boxes), obese (line boxes)], and sex. Standardization for age and sex was carried out by subtracting CDC 50^th BP percentiles (%ile) from observed values, and dividing this by the difference between the 95^th and 50^th CDC BP percentile. Thus values > 0 correspond to values above the CDC median (50^th% ile) and values > 1 correspond to values above the 95^th% ile, i.e., hypertension.</p
