his study aimed to investigate the relationship between parental hypertension and cardiometabolic risk factors in
adolescents.Weanalysed data of 554 adolescents aged 13–19 years fromKoreanNational Health andNutrition Examination
Survey 2013. The associations between parental hypertension and cardiometabolic abnormalities in adolescents were evaluated
through multivariate logistic regression. Parental hypertension was noted in 16.2% of subjects. The adjusted odds ratios (ORs)
and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for overweight (OR 2.08, 95% CI 1.01–4.28) and obesity (OR 2.11, 95% CI 1.09–4.07)
were significantly higher in subjects with parental hypertension. The adjusted ORs for abdominal obesity (OR 2.36, 95% CI
1.01–5.56), high blood pressure (OR 3.05, 95% CI 1.19–7.78), and elevated alanine transaminase defined as >35 IU/L (OR 2.86,
95% CI 1.03–7.95) were significantly higher in subjects with parental hypertension. Prevention of cardiometabolic risk factors
should be reinforced in offspring of hypertensive parents.
