For children, high blood pressure is determined by comparing the child’s blood pressure with the distribution of blood pressure for children of similar sex, age and height. A child whose blood pressure is greater than or equal to 95% of children of similar sex, age, and height (at or above the 95th percentile) would be considered to have high blood pressure. Prehypertension in children is classified as a blood pressure of 120/80 mmHg or higher but below the 95th percentile. A diagnosis of high blood pressure should be based on blood pressure readings on at least three different visits. The correct–size blood pressure cuff must be used.

The 50th, 90th, 95th, and 99th percentiles for systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) according to height, sex, and age are given for boys and girls.

High blood pressure in babies is usually caused by prematurity or problems with the kidneys or heart. In many cases when kids and teens have high blood pressure, there are no other health problems but there's a family history of high blood pressure and an unhealthy lifestyle - a bad diet, excess weight, stress, and insufficient physical activity.
