Primary hypertension among children and adolescents is on the rise. To analyze the prevalence of primary hypertension in children and its association with body fat percentage, a study was conducted where 1049 girls aged between 10-16 years studying in private schools and government schools were examined. The study was based on the premise that the girls in private schools belong to more affluent families as compared to their counterparts in government schools. The body density was determined by using appropriate regression equations given by Durnin and Wormersley (1974) and body fat percentage was calculated from body density equation by using Siri (1961) criteria. Blood pressure was recorded and prevalence of hypertension was determined by using the fourth report on the diagnosis, evaluation, and treatment of high blood pressure in children and adolescents suggested by U.S. Department of health and human services (2004). This study found that the systolic and diastolic blood pressure of richer girls from private schools was higher than their relatively poorer counterparts studying in government schools. The difference between the systolic blood pressure of these groups was significantly higher at all age groups in private school girls and similarly diastolic blood pressure difference was significant at all age groups except at 14 years with the private school girls showing higher values as compared to the government school girls. The private school girls also possessed higher body fat percentage than government school girls. Positive association of increase in blood pressure with increase in body fat percentage was also found.
