BLOOD PRESSURE IN CHILDREN WITH DIABETES MELLITUS

Arthur J. Moss M.D.1

1 Department of Pediatrics, University of California Medical Center, Los Angeles 24, California

Systolic arterial pressure was measured in 123 children with diabetes mellitus and in 889 normal children. Statistical analysis indicates that, when compared to normals, the pressure tends to increase significantly in diabetic children at about 13 years of age. It is postulated that this increase in pressure represents a prehypertensive state due to subclinical renal vascular disease.
