Original Article Tozo et al. Hypertensive measures and childhood obesity Arq Bras Cardiol. 2020; 115(1):42-49 Conclusions In this study, it was observed that half of the evaluated students demonstrated AH and one third had general obesity. In addition, the anthropometric measurements of WC and BMI-z were significantly related to the increased risk of the presence of AH, while thepracticeof physical activities appears as aprotective factor of highDBP among children and adolescents. Thus, it is suggested to implement programs that encourage a healthy lifestyle in the school environment, to contribute to the reduction of central and general obesity indicators, as well as to add protection against AH by increasing the practice of AF-mv in the population of children and adolescents.
