Passive smoking may have connection with high blood pressure in children
Passive smoking may have a connection with high blood pressure in children and adolescents, JAMA Network Open reports.
Rebecca Levy and her colleagues from Montefiore Medical Center, New York, researched the link between high blood pressure in children and the effects of smoking.
Tobacco smoke was found to be most common in children over the age of 13, boys in 53 %, and non-Hispanic Black individuals in 19 %.
The data analysis showed that the risk of high blood pressure is higher in children and adolescents with any effects of smoking, contradicting the results observed in different subgroups.
Smoking, which is harmful to many systems of the body, can also be harmful to the cardiovascular system of children and adolescents, the researchers say.
