Abstract (2. Language): 
Introduction: Early detection of Hypertension requires normative reference limits of blood pressure for children. Present study was planned to determine age & height specific normative reference limits of blood pressure, since nationally representative reference data of blood pressure for Indian children is not available. Methods: An observational descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in randomly selected 2138 healthy school children of age 7 to 14 years from government and private schools. Anthropometric measurements were done using standard protocol. After 10mins of rest to child, blood pressure readings were obtained by the investigator of the project by a validated automated devise as per the international guide lines laid down by the Task force. Results: 50th to 95th percentile values of systolic blood pressure (SBP) & diastolic blood pressure (DBP) with respect to age and height was derived in both sexes using polynomial regression model. It was found that percentile values of both SBP & DBP increases significantly with age and height percentile in both sexes. On comparing the cut off values of our population with the existing international values provided by the Task force report, it was found that our local values were on lower side. Conclusion: Findings of the present study indicates that there is a need to develop local reference data of BP for Indian population.

> 3 different visits. This was not the case in present
study as BP was recorded only at a single visit
without any follow-up of the subjects. Considering
the available resources and time it was difficult to do
follow-up of the subjects included in the study , some
of the large school surveys in the west and in our
country also took readings of BP on a single visit
17,18,29..
To establish reference values of BP beyond local
population a large sample size is required from various
parts of the country, keeping in view the regional
variations. Thus similar studies should be undertaken in
other regions to develop normal reference limits for
Indian children which would be helpful in routine
pediatric examination facilitating the diagnosis of
essential hypertension in children.
