Assessment of cardiovascular disease risk factors in Korean children: impact of various pediatric hypertension guidelines and application of the Korean blood pressure reference
In comparing the AAP, ESH, and KRC criteria in the Korean pediatric population, the KRC demonstrated a tendency to identify individuals with CVD risk factors as having high BP. This finding suggests that using the KRC as the criterion for high BP may facilitate earlier intervention in the management of CVD risk.
