RODRIGUEZ VARGAS, Nuris et al. Blood hypertension in the schoolchild with history of macrosomy or high birth weight. Rev Cubana Invest Bioméd [online]. 2009, vol.28, n.2. ISSN 0864-0300.

Little research has been made about the high birth weight and the atherosclerotic risk factors. The precursor events of diseases such as the cardiovascular illness, particularly blood hypertension, are set since the childhood, but it is difficult to confirm their clinical manifestations in the child because they are not as obvious as in adults. With the objective of early detecting these manifestations, this research work was conducted in two groups of children, one called "the macrosomic group" composed of 140 children with high birth weight (4 000 grams or over) and the other called "the control group" made up of 100 normoweighted children at birth. The sample was characterized by sex and age. Blood pressure was systematically measured three times at one week interval and averages values was analyzed. There was no a statistically significant difference in blood pressure figures in the two groups of children, although 27.14 % of the macrosomic group and 25 % of the control group were hypertensive. Despite the concerns about the prevalence of blood hypertension in both groups, the high birth weight (macrosomy) is not a predictive factor of hypertension under the conditions of this study.
