We sought to analyze its clinical characteristics and related risk factors in patients at a single center.<h4>Methods</h4>From 2009 to 2019, 166 children with hypertension were retrospectively analyzed, and their clinical manifestations and relevant laboratory data were collected for statistical analysis.<h4>Results</h4>A total of 120 males and 46 females were included in this study. Males were more common than females (P=0.012), and 86.7% were from rural areas. Hypertension appeared in all age groups, but most of them were puberty (52.4%). Most primary hypertension cases (57/91) had no obvious clinical symptoms, and BMI (OR 1.085, 95% CI: 1.004-1.173, P=0.038) and a family history of hyperTranslational pediatrics1834-1842https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC8349960biostudies-literatureClinical follow-up study of 166 cases of children with hypertension.PMC8349960Rong XQiu HShao YWu RChu MWang ZJin JfalseClinical follow-up study of 166 cases of children with hypertension.<h4>Background</h4>Childhood hypertension is a challenge for pediatricians to discover and diagnose.
