Résumé
Contexte. L'hypertension artérielle (HTA) est un problème majeur de santé publique chez l'enfant, en raison des risques de complications cardiovasculaires et rénales qui y sont associées. La mesure systématique de la pression artérielle et la gestion de son élévation chez les enfants ne sont pas encore clairement codifiées. Objectifs. Déterminer la tension artérielle de base chez les enfants de 4 à 18 ans et étudier l'association entre l'hypertension et certaines variables. Méthodes. Une étude transversale a été réalisée de janvier à juin 2019 dans 4 écoles primaires et secondaires de la ville de Bafoussam à l'aide d'un questionnaire préconçu et en effectuant des mesures anthropométriques selon des directives standardisées. Les données recueillies ont été analysées à l'aide de tests statistiques appropriés. Résultats. 1075 sujets inclus, prévalence de l'hypertension était de 2,1 %, dont 0,1 % avaient une hypertension confirmée selon la classification de la Société française de néphrologie pédiatrique. Les facteurs associés étaient : âge entre 5 et 8 ans, sexe masculin; obésité et durée hebdomadaire d'activité sportive inférieure à 2 heures. Conclusion. Cette étude a montré une prévalence élevée de l'hypertension artérielle à Bafoussam, avec des facteurs de risque évitables. Par conséquent, ces enfants doivent être éduqués sur une bonne nutrition et la nécessité de pratiquer des activités sportives régulières pour éviter le surpoids et l'obésité.
