Abstract:

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between sexual maturation and anthropometric indicators and blood pressure in adolescents. Cross-sectional population-based study, carried out between 2018 and 2020, with 345 adolescents aged 10 to 19 years. Sociodemographic and anthropometric variables, blood pressure and sexual maturation were collected. Data analysis was performed using Principal Component Analysis, which generated three components and, subsequently, the correlation between sexual maturation and the generated components was tested. Most adolescents were female (53%), normotensive (66.1%) and of normal weight (73%). There was a positive correlation between breast development with component 1 (r=0.229;p=0.002) and component 2 (r=0.226;p=0.002), and a negative correlation between breasts and component 3 (r=-0.155; p=0.038). In boys, the development of genitals and pubic hair were positively correlated with component 2 (r=0.417,p=0.000; r=0.465;p=0.000) and inversely correlated with component 3 (r=-0.233,p=0.004 ; r=-0.207p=0.010). It is concluded that there is a relationship between sexual maturation and anthropometric indicators and blood pressure, with variables representing cardiovascular risk in adolescents, even if not in its entirety.
