Hypertension promotes atherosclerosis and contributes to the development of cardiovascular disease. Hypertension is generally unusual among children, but many studies have shown the tracking of blood pressure from childhood to adulthood. Thus, early intervention for high blood pressure is important in order to prevent cardiovascular disease later in life. We assessed what lifestyle factors affect blood pressure in children. In the results, we found a negative association between seaweed intake and blood pressure. Intakes of vitamin 12 and folic acid were inversely associated with blood pressure. We will investigate lifestyle factors to affect blood pressure among children.
