Screening for Hypertension in Well-Child Follow-up

Screenings are the health services for the detection of a health problem before any symptoms observed. They aim to identify and treat the problem before leading to permanent disturbances. Although hypertension is found less frequently among those aged under 18 years, its prevalance increasing. Evidence indicates that elevated blood pressure early in life has detrimental lifelong cardiovascular effects, raising questions about the potential benefits of hypertension screening and prevention starting from childhood. The aim of this article is to investigate the screening for hypertension in childhood in Turkey and in other countries.

Sağlam Çocuk İzleminde Hipertansiyon Taraması

Bahar Kural

Taramalar, bir sağlık sorununun belirti vermeden önce saptanmasına yönelik sağlık hizmetleridir. Sorunun kalıcı bozukluklara yol açmadan tanınıp, düzeltilmesini amaçlar. Hipertansiyon 18 yaşın altındakilerde daha az sıklıkta görülmesine rağmen, sıklık artmaktadır. Kanıtlar, yaşamın erken dönemlerinde yüksek kan basıncının zararlı, yaşam boyu kardiyovasküler etkilere sahip olduğunu, hipertansiyon taramasının potansiyel yararları ve çocukluktan başlayarak önlenmesi ile ilgili soruları gündeme getirdiğini göstermektedir. Bu makalede Türkiye’de uygulanan çocukluk çağında hipertansiyon taraması ve diğer ülkelerin uygulamalarının incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır.

Keywords: Hipertansiyon, tarama, çocukluk
